Bemerkungen

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very clean. - From the text: The influence of interest groups on government has long been a source of controversy. Recently, Law and Economics scholars have joined with political scientists and economists in elaborating the theory of Public Choice. In an analysis designed to challenge mainstream scholarly views, both as to the realities of the political system and the proper methods of legal interpretation, Public Choice applies basic law and economics assumptions about human behavior to the political realm and concludes that people act, in politics as elsewhere, to perpetuate their own interests. Under these assumptions, legislators and other government officials formulate policy with their own interests, and not the public interest, in mind. Further, interest groups will promise government actors benefits so long as the legislation they are seeking is worth more than the price they must pay for it. Finally, individuals will participate in politics only rarely because, in most cases, the costs of participation will exceed the foreseeable benefits. A single voter’s actions, whether by contributing money or withholding a vote, are unlikely to make any difference at all.
