Abstract:	"By its allocation of the right to control scarce resources, the state shapes the distribution of wealth, economic organization, and economic performance over time. The locus of control within the state itself, for instance on the local-central axis, can have significant impact on economic systems, but here I am concerned with the public-private divide."
