Lindblom: The intelligence of democracyFrom WikiSummary, the Free Social Science Summary Database Lindblom. 1965. The intelligence of democracy. [edit] In BriefPeople can coordinate (a) without anybody coordinating them, (b) without a dominant common purpose, and (c) without rules that fully prescribe their relations to one another. This coordination is called partisan mutual adjustment. Decision-making structures that are non-centrally coordinated may be more efficient than centrally coordinated decision making by way of mutual adjustment of decision making actors. Decision makers can coordinate with each other without other people coordinating them (i.e. we walk around people by passing on the right, even though nobody tells us to). Coordination through mutual adjustment can be achieved without central management, without a dominant common purpose or interest, and without rules that fully prescribe decision-makers' relations to each other. Note that these argument conflict substantially with later work on social choice (Arrow, McKelvey, Plott, Shepsle/Weingast).
