This final volume (save for the Index) in Liberty Fund's "The
Collected Works of James M. Buchanan" acquaints us most intimately
with the man himself. Included are essays and short pieces that
shed light on Buchanan's view of the world.
Ranging from personal reflections on the art and science of
economics, to restatements of his central themes and reminiscences
of his encounters and collaborations with other great thinkers,
this volume presents James Buchanan as a multidimensional human
being, not just as a great economic and political thinker.
The thirty-three pieces collected in "Ideas, Persons, and Events"
are grouped into these categories:
1.Autobiographical and Personal Reflections
2.Reflections on Fellow Political Economists
3.Political Economy in the Post-Socialist Century
4.Reform without Romance
As Hartmut Kliemt states in his foreword, "The personal and the
theoretical are often inseparably intertwined in the essays of this
volume. . . . As a case in point, consider James Buchanan's account
of his relationship to Frank Knight. This account not only sheds
some interesting light on the personal element in the development
of science, it also offers some new perspectives on the concept of
the 'relatively absolute absolutes, ' which has been so central to
Buchanan's thinking in general."
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.
