Reviews

'Buchanan's work is widely read and cited by those working within economics and political economy. This excellent book shows that he also has an important contribution to make to political theory. It is to be hoped that it will go some way towards giving Buchanan's work the wider circulation it undoubtedly deserves with this field.' -- John Meadowcroft, Economic Affairs '... terrific read... The essays are beautifully argued analyses of the philosophical underpinnings of Classical Liberalism, developing arguments from Adam Smith, Hayek and others. Buchanan is a fine and convincing advocate for Classical Liberalism.' -- Ruth Lea, The Business Economist 'Buchanan's final essay... is a personal, somewhat brooding, discussion of why he has chosen to write this and other works like it over the years. He articulates a vision that classical liberals everywhere can identify with and provides reason enough to read this book.' -- Robert Lawson, Public Choice 'Buchanan's readable, insightful work will be of value to students of political philosophy and economic thought. Highly recommended. All collections.' -- M. Steckbeck, Choice
