Description

Why Delegate? explores and develops the logic of delegation, showing its wide application in our private and public lives in an accessible way. Mitchell modifies the standard economic account to better fit what happens in the world around us. Using diverse cases ranging from surrogate parenting, pollution scandals at Volkswagen, the dispute process in the NFL, child abuse, and war crimes, this book explains the incentives at work and, among other issues,investigates the surprising passivity of those who are supposed to be in charge.
