社会在规则的基础上运作。这些规则就像道路规则一样，协调具有不同目标和目的的个人的活动。这些规则是否有效，以及如何使它们更好地发挥作用，是一个值得关注的问题。如果恰当地解释，社会规则的运作也是现代政治经济学的中心主题。本书是关于规则的——它们是什么、它们如何工作以及如何正确分析它们。作者的目标是了解替代政治机构的运作方式，以便更充分地了解这些机构（规则）之间的选择。因此，从广义上讲，宪政政治经济学的方法论是《规则之理》的主题。作者研究了政治秩序规则如何运作、如何选择这些规则以及如何建立此类选择的规范标准。
Societies function on the basis of rules. These rules, rather like the rules of the road, coordinate the activities of individuals who have a variety of goals and purposes. Whether the rules work well or ill, and how they can be made to work better, is a matter of major concern. Appropriately interpreted, the working of social rules is also the central subject matter of modern political economy. This book is about rules - what they are, how they work, and how they can be properly analysed. The authors' objective is to understand the workings of alternative political institutions so that choices among such institutions (rules) can be more fully informed. Thus, broadly defined, the methodology of constitutional political economy is the subject matter of The Reason of Rules. The authors have examined how rules for political order work, how such rules might be chosen, and how normative criteria for such choices might be established.
