Cole and McGinnis have assembled some of the key works by Vincent and Elinor Ostrom on the interactions among agents and political, economic, and legal institutions to provide local public goods. Their scholarship has changed the way in which we think about local collective action and its ability to address major resource issues. Cole and McGinnis are uniquely qualified to assemble this compendium because of their long-standing interaction as close colleagues of the Ostroms in the development of the Bloomington School of Political Economy. -- Gary Libecap, University of California, Santa Barbara Anyone who wonders why Elinor Ostrom received the Nobel Economic Sciences Prize need only read this book to stop wondering. -- Thomas C. Schelling, University of Maryland
