Public choice theory should be taken seriously-but not too
seriously. In this thought-provoking book, Jerry Mashaw stakes out
a middle ground between those who champion public choice theory
(the application of the conventional methodology of economics to
political science matters, also known as rational choice theory)
and those who disparage it. He argues that in many cases public
choice theory's reach has exceeded its grasp. In others, public
choice insights have not been pursued far enough by those who are
concerned with the operation and improvement of legal institutions.
While Mashaw addresses perennial questions of constitutional law,
legislative interpretation, administrative law, and the design of
public institutions, he arrives at innovative conclusions.
Countering the positions of key public choice theorists, Mashaw
finds public choice approaches virtually useless as an aid to the
interpretation of statutes, and he finds public choice arguments
against delegating political decisions to administrators
incoherent. But, using the tools of public choice analysts, he
reverses the lawyers' conventional wisdom by arguing that
substantive rationality review is not only legitimate but a lesser
invasion of legislative prerogatives than much judicial
interpretation of statutes. And, criticizing three decades of "law
reform," Mashaw contends that pre-enforcement judicial review of
agency rules has seriously undermined both governmental capacity
and the rule of law.
