In the history chapter of my book, I document how ancient is the practice of joint liability—especially if you understand that term to include any time one person cosigns another’s loan promissory note.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs)—agreements between governments and the private sector to finance infrastructure or public services—haven’t taken off in Ukraine, at least not yet.
