Abstract
In my recent book, The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates (Princeton University Press, 2009), I use basic economic theory to analyze late seventeenth- and early-eighteenth-century pirates. Bylund, Carden, North, and Storr raise important questions about, and offer important challenges to, some of the particular ways in which I do so. I offer a few reactions to each of their papers.
