An-aargh-chy

Economics can be fun. When it involves Pirates!

Also, the evolution of the separation of powers, and of financial and electoral checks and balances on executive authority - on the Spanish Main!

Modeling this problem is straightforward. Consider a pirate ship of complete but imperfect information with a captain and two “factions” of ordinary pirates that together comprise the ship'’s crew. Alternatively, one can view these factions as two representative pirates without loss of generality.

I wish my job involved writing things like that.

'No.'
