Synopsis

Public Choice: A Primer offers a clear, accessible introduction to public choice theory, the economic study of political decision-making. Written by Dr. John M. Cobin, this primer explains how self-interest, incentives, and institutional rules shape the behavior of voters, politicians, and bureaucrats, and why government action often fails to produce the public-spirited outcomes its proponents promise. Readers will learn core public choice concepts such as rent-seeking, regulatory capture, the tragedy of the commons, and the logic of collective action, presented in plain language for students and general readers with an interest in politics, economics, and liberty.
