Support-Bargaining, Economics and Society links support-bargaining to Darwin's theory of natural selection and traces the implications of support-bargaining and money-bargaining across society. It provides a wholly different account of the functioning of human societies from anything that has gone before. Social scientists, ever since there have been such people, have missed the crucial human characteristic - the propensity to seek support - that has given rise to group formation and the evolution of human society.

Patrick Spread obtained his first degree from Oxford University and a PhD from the London Business School. He has worked as an economist extensively in the Pacific, Africa and Asia. He has published three books and several journal articles.
