Two principal conclusions are drawn from an examination of how the supply of collective goods to a group is affected by five communal-associational properties of the group. First, Mancur Olson has not completely explained exceptions to the size argument; other explanations do exist. second, it is not thue that communities invariably have a greater capacity to supply themselves with collective goods than do associations.
