Some Thoughts on the Voting Process

Gordon Tullock

Atlantic Economic Journal, 2006, vol. 34, issue 1, 46 pages

Abstract: Since the rational voter model was first introduced, the issue of voting determinants has been the subject of extensive study. Moreover, the significance of the democratic process has long been a subject of extensive study and controversy. This study addresses a related pair of issues and offers some challenges for students of voting, the voting process, and the nature of democracy to ponder. The two issues are: (1) what does democracy mean? and (2) which is the best or least bad of these various choices. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2006
