Main-stream philosophy has rediscovered economics, but economists’ jargon and styles of argument are often inaccessible. This volume presents fresh critical interpretations of the work of the 20th century’s premier political-economic contractarian, James Buchanan. Written by some of today’s best young scholars, the essays consider Buchanan’s contributions to social choice, contractarianism, and normative public finance. An essential compendium for professors and serious readers.
