Synopsis:

This book provides a much-needed introduction to public choice thought and public policy by three acknowledged leaders in the field.

Synopsis: The public choice school of economics has decisively influenced the way Americans view politics. Where once citizens assumed the government always acted in the "public interest", public choice scholars have shown that politics, no less than economics, involves individuals and groups acting in their self-interest. Up until now, Americans did not have an authoritative and accessible introduction to the public choice approach to analysing politics and government. This volume meets that need with essays by three leading scholar in the filed. The authors provide a helpful mixture of theory and current policy issues for readers interested in such diverse subjects as political science, economics, social choice and public policy.
