In this fully revised second edition of a well-regarded and popular
text, Patrick McNutt presents more ideas and challenges to all
those interested in political economy and public choice. The author
evaluates a range of public choice concepts including rent-seeking,
voting and voter behaviour, and the growth of government and
bureaucracy. New material in this second edition includes: * the
introduction of a moral choice set and a new methodology for the
treatment of the concept of fairness * a positive theory of
rent-seeking with empirical estimates * the issue of legal barriers
to entry and related themes; in particular how a legal barrier can
affect consumer welfare * a critical evaluation of the exchange and
allocation of economic power and income inequality in developing
countries * an overview of the global political economy which
identifies the contribution of public choice.
