Annotation With swashbuckling irreverence and devilish wit, Peter Leeson uncovers the hidden economics behind pirates' notorious, entertaining, and sometimes downright shocking behaviour. It looks at pirate captains like Blackbeard and shows how pirates' search for plunder led them to pioneer remarkable and forward-thinking practices.
