“A fine collection of essays exploring, and in many cases extending, Jim Buchanan’s many contributions and insights to economic, political, and social theory.” – Bruce Caldwell, Professor of Economics, Duke University, USA “The overwhelming impression the reader gets from this very fine collection is the extraordinary expanse of James Buchanan’s work. Everyone interested in economics and related fields can profit mightily from this book.” – Mario Rizzo, Professor of Economics, New York University, USA This book explores the academic contribution of James Buchanan, who received the Nobel Prize for economics in 1986. Buchanan’s receipt of the Prize is noteworthy because he was a maverick within the economics profession. In contrast to the preponderance of economists, Buchanan made little use of mathematics and no use of econometrics, preferring to used logic and language to insert his ideas into the scholarlycommunity.
