Abstract: Abstract The “social orders” conceptual framework published in 2009 by Douglass North, John Joseph Wallis, and Barry Weingast allows a new reading of the political economy of rents in mineral-exporting countries. The paper explores how some findings of mineral economics research from the 1980s and 1990s can be reassessed within this framework.
