I'm adding "The Control Revolution" to my reading list thanks to this post.

I recently finished "The Company: A short History of a Revolutionary Idea" [0] and it painted a picture where historic development in economic activity is enabled by increasingly sophisticated contract technology. The more explicitly people were able to specify expectations around business ventures, the successful such ventures could be (and the easier to gather capital). Seems like something you may enjoy!
