Analytic conservatism and analytic radicalism: Of understated distinctions and other analytical things

Michael Brooks

Constitutional Political Economy, 2015, vol. 26, issue 4, 442-454

Abstract: I re-examine Brennan and Hamlin’s so-called convexity argument for analytic conservatism and Taylor’s counter-argument that a sufficiently strong exit option may provide a case for analytic radicalism. In doing so, I expose and underscore some of the implicit assumptions and understated distinctions that are present in some of the extant literature on analytic conservatism.
