An economic definition of transaction costs is the costs of measuring what is being
exchanged and enforcing agreements. In the larger context of societal evolution they
are all the costs involved in human interaction over time. It is this larger context
that North explores in this essay. The concept is a close kin to the notion of social
capital advanced by James Coleman (1990) and applied imaginatively to studying the
differential patterns of Italian regional development by Robert Putnam in Making
Democracy Work (1993). This essay, therefore, is a study in economic history which
focuses on the costs of human coordination and cooperation through time which I regard
as the key dilemma of societies past, present and future.
