THE INVISIBLE HOOK Th e Hidden Economics of Pirates
I’m not a historian. Nor am I a pirate. I’m an economist with a long-standing interest in privately created law and order who happened to wonder one day how pirates cooperated since they had no government. Like many others, my interest in pirates goes back many years. I went to Disney World when I was eight; Pirates of the Caribbean was my favorite ride. My parents bought me a “silver” skull ring with “ruby” eyes from the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop. I think I still have it, and I’d
probably wear it if it still fi t. A few years later my parents went on vacation in the Caribbean. They brought me back a carved pirate “coconut head.” I loved it and used the pirate head as a still life for drawings with colored pencils. Some of these drawings are still in existence. They’re not highly sought aft er, but I believe they should be.
