Coase is the founder and the main representative of modern Western property rights theory. His “Nature of the Enterprise” published in 1937 was called “a classical paper” by Western property rights economists. (In the “Nature of the Enterprise”, the translation contains “Comparative Economic and Social Systems,” 1988, Issue 2). In 1989, Coase published a lengthy article in the United States on his “The Nature of the Firm,” which included the origin, meaning, and influence of the paper. The three parts provide a wealth of background materials and further theoretical insights. This article is of great reference value for the study of Keith’s “The Nature of the Firm” and the creation and development of property rights theory. The full text of about 40,000 words, limited space, excerpts are as follows.
