"The Calculus of Consent," the second volume of Liberty Fund's "The
Selected Works of Gordon Tullock, " is a reprint edition of the
ground-breaking economic classic written by two of the world's
preeminent economists--Gordon Tullock and Nobel Laureate James M.
Buchanan. This book is a unique blend of economics and political
science that helped create significant new subfields in each
discipline respectively, namely, the public choice school and
constitutional political economy. Charles K. Rowley, Duncan Black
Professor of Economics at George Mason University, points out in
his introduction, ""The Calculus of Consent" is, by a wide margin,
the most widely cited publication of each coauthor and, by general
agreement, their most important scientific contribution.""The
Calculus of Consent" is divided into four parts, each consisting of
several chapters. The introduction by Professor Rowley provides a
short overview of the book and identifies key insights that
permeated the bounds of economics and political science and created
an enduring nexus between the two sciences. Part I of "The Calculus
of Consent" establishes the conceptual framework of the book's
subject; part II defines the realm of social choice; part III
applies the logic developed in part II to describe a range of
decision-making rules, most notably, the rule of simple majority;
while part IV explores the economics and ethics of
democracy.Charles K. Rowley is Duncan Black Professor of Economics
at George Mason University and a Senior Fellow of the James M.
Buchanan Center for Political Economy at George Mason University.
He is also General Director of the Locke Institute.The entire
