Look in most eighteenth-century newspapers and you will be struck by the number of notices for lost dogs, absconding apprentices and missing bank notes. The range of lost ‘things’ included in such notices might astound you. People advertised all sorts of missing items, from anchors to monkeys, keys, walking sticks and lumps of timber. They […]

What can we learn about broad institutional formation from the experience of US environmental legislation? Despite providing public goods, environmental regulation is too costly, inequitable, and controversial.

And while these moments […]

Arguably the greatest jurist of the 20th century, he wrote in an age of single-party dictatorships and witnessed the downfall of constitutional governments […]

On 10 May 1570, at the chateau of Dieppe in Normandy, a cloth-merchant was interrogated about the contents of a basket he was carrying, including thirty notes and letters ‘concealed in a bed of straw under cheeses’. This chance interception piqued my curiosity about the wider context of this episode, from where and to where, […]
