The thirty-one papers presented in this volume offer scholars and
general readers alike a comprehensive introduction to the work of
one of the greatest economists of the modern era. Many of
Buchanan's most important essays are gathered in this inaugural
volume of the twenty-volume series from Liberty Fund of his
'Collected Works'. The essays are arranged thematically and so
present a complete perspective on Buchanan's work. The six sections
include: introduction; politics without romance; public finance and
democratic process; the economist and economic order; ethics and
economics; the reason of rules. The editors have focused on papers
that Buchanan has written without collaboration and which present
Buchanan's earlier, classic statements on crucial subjects rather
than his subsequent elaborations which appear in later volumes in
the series. Included, too, is Buchanan's Nobel address, 'The
Constitution of Economic Policy', and the text of the Nobel
Committee's press release explaining why Buchanan was awarded the
prize for Economics in 1986. The volume also includes Buchanan's
autobiographical essay, 'Better Than Plowing', in which he gives
not only a brief account of his life, but also his own assessment
of what is important, distinctive, and enduring in his work. The
foreword by the three series editors will be valuable to all
readers who wish to engage the challenging but epochal writings of
the father of modern public choice theory.
