Social contract, free ride : a study of the public goods problem /

This study of the public goods dilemma explains how the present system of compulsory taxation helps to breed the parasitic "free riding" it is meant to suppress. The author argues that in the absence of taxation, many public goods would be provided by spontaneous group co-operation.
