Maria Brower uses concepts such as uncertainty and expectations to analyze political and corporate governance models from an economic theoretical perspective. Governance and Innovation analyzes the emergence of organizations and institutions conducive to commerce and growth and the relationship with political organization in both past and present in order to improve our understanding of economic development. The author shows how maritime trade spawned many organizational innovations in the past that still feature in modern innovative enterprises, and highlights how political governance can stimulate or hinder innovation, taking issue with existing legislation on bankruptcy and corporate governance. The effects of political governance on innovation are modeled to analyze how competition for novelty enhances the value of human capital.
