Individuals, Contracts and Constitutions: the Political Economy of James M. Buchanan

Gareth Locksley

Chapter 3 in Twelve Contemporary Economists, 1981, pp 33-52 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract James Buchanan began his distinguished academic career in 1948 at the University of Tennessee. At the time of writing he is General Director of the influential Center for Study of Public Choice at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, a post he has held since 1969. He has taught at many seats of learning in both the US and Europe including UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, LSE and Cambridge. During his career Professor Buchanan has picked up numerous awards and honours, served on very many important boards and undertaken a sizeable amount of consultancy work. Within this packed working life he has also managed to produce an almost frighteningly large volume of publications, only a fraction of which are referred to here.
