`Gordon Tullock has once again written an insightful and stimulating book. While political scientists who are not familiar with the public choice literature will find the book accessible, it can also be recommended to public choice scholars who are interested in suggestions for future research. . . . Gordon Tullock . . . has once again written a highly interesting book in an entertaining style. This book is a valuable addition to the impressive work done by one of the pioneers of public choice.' -- Patrick W. Schmitz, Constitutional Political Economy `On Voting is an extremely important contribution to public choice analysis, and in fact a contribution that was long overdue. While public choice analysis has for the most part focused on analyzing particular voting schemes, and Gordon Tullock has made very important contributions in this area as well, this book addresses the question lying behind such an analysis of particular voting structures. He is interested in looking at what it means if one decides a question by vote instead of taking the decision in some other way. He brings to this issue a lifetime of experience and thought in public choice analysis and arrives at many surprising insights.' -- Jurgen G. Backhaus, Maastricht University, the Netherlands
