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 centurys premier political-economic contractarian, James Buchanan. Written by some of todays best young scholars, the essays consider Buchanans contributions to social choice, contractarianism, and normative public finance. An essential compendium for professors and serious readers. -- Michael C. Munger, Director of PPE Program, Duke University Recently, James Buchanan has been an object of controversy along personal and political lines. This timely collection of papers engages the work of Buchanan in the appropriate spirit of academic critique and appraisal. A highly recommended collection for political theorists generally and in particular for those seriously interested in Buchanan's work. -- Geoffrey Brennan and Hartmut Kliemt, Editors of The Collected Works of James Buchanan Our fate as scholars is mostly to pass and be forgotten with the rest. James Buchanans fate is different. While he died in 2013, this collection of essays by advanced students from many universities shows that Buchanans work still inspires new scholars. It also introduces us to some bold thinkers whose work we will be studying in the coming years. -- Richard E. Wagner, Harris Professor of Economics, George Mason University
