Guest-Blogging at The Volokh Conspiracy this Week

I'm guest-blogging over at the excellent Volokh Conspiracy this week where I'll be discussing The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates and all things pirate. Stop by!

My first installment, on private law and order in Somali pirate society, is here. To follow: Should commercial ships hire armed guards? Is America's system of government based on pirates' social organization? And are the Somali pirates just trying to save our environment?
