Moreover, all available mechanisms affecting individual and collective actions for achieving economic, social, environmental, intra and inter-generational goals of sustainable development are embraced including formal and informal institutions ("rules of the game"), "invisible hand of market" (market competition), individual initiatives (codes of behavior), contractual arrangements (private order), "visible hand of the manager"(fiat), collective decision-making (collective order), government intervention (public order), multinational actions (international order) and hybrid modes. The book provides effective tools for understanding, analyzing and improving public policies, business strategies, and individuals and collective actions for sustainable development.
