Better than Ploughing

James Buchanan

Chapter 12 in Recollections of Eminent Economists, 1989, pp 279-295 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract My title’s description of an academic career is taken directly from Frank H. Knight, from whom I take so much. Nonetheless, my origins in the rural agricultural poverty of the upper south (Tennessee) in the United States, along with the sometimes pretentious efforts of the middle-class poor to impose social distinctions, are surely explanatory elements in any narrative account of my own history.
