and interesting, non-economic, non-technical introduction to “the principle-agent-framework” is by a man called Jan-Erik Lane (I forgot the title). It’s interesting because he ties the PA-framework in to more broader ideas of politics and law.
Then again, I have never read a better description of the basics then Jensen and Meckling’s “theory of the firm”
