The growth of government: A protection explanation

Michael Bordo and Daniel Landau

Public Choice, 1987, vol. 53, issue 2, 167-174

Abstract: Our approach to the explanation of the growth of government achieves three things: it ties together under the protection heading most government expenditure programs; it explains the timing of the growth of government; and it resolves the paradox of democratic government not serving the majority interest.
