Quote by Douglass North

"Institutions are the humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction."

"Ideas have consequences, and the ideas we hold shape the institutions we create."

"Economic history is fundamentally about understanding how societies organize production and exchange."

"Property rights are the foundation upon which all economic activity rests."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
