- Chicago Economist (and Nobel prize winner, natch) James Buchanan has this rather excellent post on public choice theory. At its heart, public choice assumes that government workers put themselves, their family, and their friends before other people (as do all decent human beings) and see what the consequences are for public administration.I did not know the historic context around public choice theory or Ken Arrow's (Chicago econ, Nobel prize too) work demonstrating how elections results are artifacts of the voting regimen, so it was interesting to learn that this work came about against a backdrop of socialism. It was also interesting to note that Buchanan settled on a constitution to protect democratic systems from majority tyrannies -- formalizing what James Madison & Co had figured out several years earlier.A somewhat loose way of putting this is to say that in a constitutional democracy, persons owe loyalty to the constitution rather than to the government. |
