This distinguished collection of Dennis Mueller's papers discusses the economic challenges faced as a result of events in the latter third of the twentieth century; the formation of the European Union, the collapse of Communism in East Europe, and the deregulation and privatization movement that spread from North America to Europe and then across the rest of the world. The book explores the design of political institutions and the functioning of economies, and goes on to prescribe the types of fiscal and competition policies that are required as we enter the twenty-first century, posing questions such as:What should a new democracy's constitution comprise?Should the European Union be organized as a federal system?What should a global competition policy consist of?Academics specializing in public choice theory, political economy, and industrial organization will warmly welcome this outstanding volume, as will those with an interest in globalization and the European Union.

'Mueller is, of course, a prominent public choice scholar, indeed he is a past president of the Public Choice Society. He is also, however, an expert on antitrust law and its economic implications. Both of these areas are covered in the book and in both areas he makes a significant contribution. Some of these articles have been published before, but sometimes in major journals and sometimes in highly specialized journals. In my case, I had read the articles in the main journals before but they well repaid rereading. The articles published in the specialized journals were new to me as were of course the articles which had never been published before. Altogether, it is a major contribution to both public choice and antitrust economics. Living as he does in Europe but with a strong American background, professor Mueller is particularly interested in the current expansion of the Common Market. His ability to apply both the economics of antitrust and the economics of public choice to this area, means that his contribution is significant. I can honestly recommend the book to not only people in those two fields, but to the general scholar who is interested in developments in Europe in general. I learned a good deal from reading it and I'm sure that other readers will do the same.'
