This book can be read from start to finish because it has  a uniting theme:  Pareto efficiency as a recipe for peace. It has also been  designed so that you
can go to any page and start learning ideas in economics,  political science,  and Public Choice theory, because everything in this book  relates to some
important idea in one or all of these fields. 

Only a  peace that is based on Pareto efficiency,  implemented through private property  rights, can lead to prosperity and respect  for human rights in large societies.
What is Pareto efficiency? Some people have  heard of something called the  Pareto 80-20 rule which says that eighty percent  of the profits go to twenty
percent of the people. Pareto was a multi-genius,  spawning ideas in statistics,  sociology, demography, and economics that came to  dominate the field. But the
80-20 rule has nothing to do with his notion of  efficiency. Pareto efficiency is a much more powerful and subtle concept.

A  division of resources in society  is Pareto-efficient if the pie cannot be re-cut  in such a way as to improve the lot of at least one person whilst not making  others worse off. This whole book  is devoted to exploring this seemingly simple  but devastatingly powerful definition of conomic efficiency and showing why peace and prosperity can only be based on this principle.
