The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Along with Robert Fogel, he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1993.
- In the words of the Nobel Committee, North and Fogel "renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change." North helped popularize cliometrics and was later an influential figure in New Institutional Economics, which emphasizes the impact of institutions on economic behaviors and outcomes.
- North argued, "Institutions provide the incentive structure of an economy, as that structure evolves, it shapes the direction of economic change towards growth, stagnation, or decline." Rational and wealth-maximizing individuals lack complete information and have difficulties monitoring and enforcing agreements.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Douglass North article was read about 25,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
