Constitutional political economy is the theme of the papers
collected in this volume. This entire area of contemporary economic
thought is a legacy of James M. Buchanan.
In outlining the importance of this volume to the contemporary
study of economics and to the work of James M. Buchanan, Robert D.
Tollison states in his foreword, "Buchanan literally founded the
field of constitutional political economy. . . . His] insistence on
the importance of rules was an important innovation in economics,
and, over the past thirty years or so, the analytical and empirical
relevance of Buchanan's constitutional perspective has become
apparent."
The thirty-five papers represented in this volume are grouped into
these major subject categories:
1.Foundational Issues
2.The Method of Constitutional Economics
3.Incentives and Constitutional Choice
4.Constitutional Order
5.Market Order
6.Distributional Issues
7.Fiscal and Monetary Constitutions
8.Reform
For Buchanan, his work in constitutional political economy is just
the first step. He is concerned with inducing economists and other
scholars to take the constitutional problem seriously. As they do,
says Robert D. Tollison, "the face of modern economics will be
changed."
James M. Buchanan is an eminent economist who won the Alfred Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1986 and is considered one
of the greatest scholars of liberty in the twentieth century.
