WE ALL SEEK RENTS, BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION.

All human organizations expand to the maximum consumption and distribution of rents, until there is insufficient free capital to use as incentives to reorganize the organization in response to changes anywhere from incremental to shocks.

Cooperation evolved as a means of suppression alpha rents ( domination of reproduction and calorie consumption), freeing up the potential cooperation and reproduction of people in exchange for the development of moral instincts.

The institution of Property evolved as a means of suppressing family, kin, clan, tribe, and headman rents, therefore freeing up the incentives and productivity of people.

The state evolved as a means of centralizing rents which were used to suppress local rents, thus eliminating local transaction costs of the people.

The empire evolved as a means of centralizing rents which were used to suppress regional rents, thus eliminating transaction costs of the commercial peoples.

Organizations of commercial people evolve by the provision of rents (rewards) for loyalty to a network of production.

Larger organizations evolved by the organization and provision of capital in order to provide rents (rewards), in exchange for suppressing the rents of many smaller organizations.

At some point one always needs to create ‘a larger’ organization to suppress the smaller organization’s rents, and improve the ability of people to cooperate at lower cost.

That larger or perhaps largest organization, is the militia, and its function is to suppress the parasitism of the State.
