    About this ebook

    In Law and Public Choice, Daniel Farber and Philip Frickey present a remarkably rich
    and accessible introduction to the driving principles of public choice. In this, the first
    systematic look at the implications of social choice for legal doctrine, Farber and Frickey
    carefully review both the empirical and theoretical literature about interest group influence and provide a nonmathematical introduction to formal models of legislative action. Ideal for course use, this volume offers a balanced and perceptive analysis and critique of an approach which, within limits, can illuminate the dynamics of government decision-making.

    “Law and Public Choice is a most valuable contribution to the burgeoning literature. It
    should be of great interest to lawyers, political scientists, and all others interested in issues at the intersection of government and law.”—Cass R. Sunstein, University of Chicago Law

      Introduction: Populism, Self-Government, and Liberty

      Aug 4, 2021

      Populist and neoliberal are epithets: anyone who uses one of these terms as a description doesn’t belong to the group being described. The more extreme stand-ins— socialist for the Left and fascist for the Right—are hyperbolic and hackneyed, so popul
