Policy Analysis And Public Choice: Selected Papers By William A. Niskanen (The Locke Institute Series)

It also includes his major essays on proprietary studies as well as many of his professional papers written for an academic audience. Part I details Niskanen's important contribution to policy analysis. The diverse topics discussed include: defense spending and resource allocation, trade policy, crime and drug policy, and welfare and the culture of poverty. Part II is concerned with public choice and political economy, in particular the liberal economic order, bureaucracy, democratic government and progressive taxation. The volume also includes an autobiographical summary focusing on the complementary nature of his work on policy analysis and public choice, and a number of commentaries that reflect Niskanen's unique professional background and perspective.William A.
