The Encyclopedia of Public Choice

Abstract

The Encyclopedia of Public Choice offers a detailed and comprehensive account of the subject that deals with the intersection of economics and political science. Monumental in conception and written in a lively and accessible style, the Encyclopedia is an authoritative and comprehensive point of entry into a fertile research program that illuminates human behavior in a variety of non-market settings, such as committees, bureaucracies, legislatures and clubs, where collective action necessarily displaces individual action.
