“…Various historical studies (e.g. Peter and Whitaker 1981;Longhofer 1993;Janzen and Stanton 2010) have also described how these communal arrangements are contingent upon conflict avoidance, inter-communal forms of trading, and even individualised access rights to controversial goods such as mobile phones. The Hutterites therefore serve as an example of people with fundamentally different ideas about the moral status of property, but a diachronic analysis of property rights can help serve to understand how alternative forms of economy are structured.…”

Custom is an integral part of the institutional matrix of modern economies. Market processes hinge crucially on custom, which in turn affect these processes. The book proposes a theory of custom that emphasizes the motivational force that arises from the individual's striving for coherence and justification. It depicts custom as comprising habitual, cognitive, and emotional aspects and explains that market transactions rely on customary entitlements and obligations. The motivational force of custom emerges from a preference for regularity and a desire for coherence that tie cognition, emotion, and action together. The view is applied to the theory of property, the theory of the law, the theory of the firm, and the problem of the division of labour and the conditions under which that division of labour is better organized by the firm or by the market.
