A chapter in Law and Economics in Europe and the U.S, 2016, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It might surprise much people, including economists, if one states that economics has progressively but with a striking certainty turned into a formal science, axiomatized, that has not much to do with the political economy of its origins, that of David Hume or Adam Smith, and the other Scottish thinkers of the end of the eighteenth century. This is what James Buchanan already noted in 1958, when he and G. Warren Nutter decided to launch the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Study of Political Economy.
