The economic theory of collective action is concerned with the provision of public goods (and other collective consumption) through the collaboration of two or more individuals, and the impact of externalities on group behavior. It is more commonly referred to as Public Choice. Mancur Olson's 1965 book The Logic of Collective Action: Public Goods and the Theory of Groups, is an important early analysis of the problems of public good cost.<br />

Critical researchers assume that social reality is historically constituted and that it is produced and reproduced by people. Although people can consciously act to change their social and economic circumstances, critical researchers recognize that their ability to do so is constrained by various forms of social, cultural and political domination. The main task of critical research is seen as being one of social critique, whereby the restrictive and alienating conditions of the status quo are brought to light. Critical research focuses on the oppositions, conflicts and contradictions in contemporary society, and seeks to be emancipatory i.e. it should help to eliminate the causes of alienation and domination. <br />

==Recent Changes==<br />
In 2011, many of the articles on this site were modified by "spam 'bots," which altered page text by inserting links to various websites. Our thanks go the students of BYU's Information Systems PhD Preparation program (Dave Eargle, Arthur Weagel, Lee J Hinkle, Adam Thompson, and Jeremiah Maughan) who reviewed and edited each article to remove the errant links. <br />
<br />
To prevent this from happening again, we have added a "captcha" to the account creation page to be sure that only humans gain access to modify pages on this wiki. Unfortunately, many (perhaps a majority) of the user accounts at this site were created by these 'bots. Although some of these accounts could be clearly identified, there were many others which were very difficult to determine if they were valid or not. Rather than risking leaving some 'bot-created accounts active, we have opted to delete all user accounts and require valid users to recreate their accounts under our new procedure. We realize that this will be of a minor inconvenience for some valid uses but we felt the integrity of the site was worth the one-time difficulty for our valid users.</div>Aweagelhttps://is.theorizeit.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=525Main Page2011-11-18T17:03:45Z<p>Aweagel: fixed spelling of name</p>
