Ok, but this assumes that rules are the only way to promote cooperation. I don't think
they are the only way at all. I think that trade is a better way (at least in many cases).
Rules are necessary for trade to exist beyond immediate acquaintances. There need to be
laws defining ownership, forbidding coercion and fraud and ways of enforcing the laws.
Democracy is just a way of arriving at and adjusting those laws.
