 نقد کتاب انتخاب عمومیReview of Public choice by Dennis MuellerMPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany Abstract: The author of the book Public Choice is Dennis Mueller, Professor of Economics at the University of Vienna and President of the European Public Choice Society. Public choice is concerned with the study of non-market decision-making, that is, the application of economic analysis to politics and the processes of collective political decision-making. While the substantive topics of public choice theory overlap with those of political science, its methodology and analytical instruments are derived from economics. The second section of the article introduces the book itself, outlining its six constituent parts. The third section evaluates the quality of the book’s translation, whereas the fourth section is devoted to an analysis and assessment of its substantive content. The fifth section addresses the omission of prominent theorists of public choice, while the sixth section offers a methodological critique of the work. The seventh section elaborates on the limitations of the self-interest model. Finally, the concluding section provides a synthesis of the article’s overall findings.
