Public Choice Theory: An Assessment

Seyed Hossein Mirjalili

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: By definition, public choice refers to the economic analysis of non-market decision-making, or the application of economics to political science. While the subject matter of public choice overlaps with that of political science, its methodology is rooted in economics. The emergence of public choice theory was closely linked to the expansion of government intervention under Keynesianism and socialism, and it emphasized the problem of government failure. This article discusses not only the historical context of its emergence but also the contributions of its founders and the perspectives of key representatives of the public choice school.
