On Some Neglected, But Profound, Contributions of Gordon Tullock

Roger Congleton

Chapter Chapter 3 in Public Choice, Past and Present, 2013, pp 33-42 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter suggests that Tullock has made more profound contributions to constitutional political economy and other related fields than he is recognized for, in part, because he himself has failed to recognize that aspect of his work. Gordon is not self-consciously pursuing the profound, but simply pushing out the frontiers of knowledge in as many directions as occur to him, more or less as rapidly as possible for a very insightful active man. Carefully integrating his research and plumbing its depths has largely been left to others.
