Description

This collection of essays explores three key areas: the methodology of economics, its application to other social sciences, and its relevance as moral philosophy. Buchanan's work spans multiple disciplines, including welfare economics, public finance, and public choice.

Featuring previously unpublished pieces, such as "Professor Alchian on Economic Method" and "Public Choice and Ideology", this book offers a unique insight into the thought of a prominent economist who has had a significant impact on the field. Buchanan's ideas have driven a methodological revolution in economics and beyond.

First published in 1979, this volume provides an accessible introduction to the work of a leading figure in economic philosophy. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students seeking to understand the foundations of modern economics and its connections to other social sciences.
