Reviews
"We have needed an answer to the question often asked: 'Can you refer me to a single book that will explain in simple language what Public Choice is all about?' Beyond Politics by William Mitchell and Randy Simmons meets this need superbly." --James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate in Economic Science, Center for the Study of Public Choice, George Mason University, " Beyond Politics is so well written and interesting that it appeals even to those, like me, who may disagree with several of its arguments." --Mancur Olson, Jr., late professor of economics, University of Maryland, " Beyond Politics is a solid work in all respects. Truly a praiseworthy book, it is well written and carefully organized, providing a rich contrast between orthodox notions of democracy and the public choice alternative." --Richard E. Wagner, Harris Professor of Economics, George Mason University, "Mitchell and Simmons make a lucid case for a market economy and limited constitutional government. Beyond Politics is the most effective introduction to this topic that is now available." --William A. Niskanen, former chairman, President's Council of Economic Advisors, We have needed an answer to the question often asked: ‘Can you refer me to a single book that will explain in simple language what Public Choice is all about?' Beyond Politics by William Mitchell and Randy Simmons meets this need superbly." —James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate in Economic Science, Center for the Study of Public Choice, George Mason University, "Throughout the world, publics are looking for a new conception of government and its role. Happily, there is a whole new theory that fills the bill called 'public choice,' and which is clearly and persuasively presented in the excellent book, Beyond Politics." --Robert L. Bartley, late editor, Wall Street Journal, Throughout the world, publics are looking for a new conception of government and its role. Happily, there is a whole new theory that fills the bill called #145;public choice,' and which is clearly and persuasively presented in the excellent book, Beyond Politics." —Robert L.

Beyond Politics by William Mitchell and Randy Simmons meets this need superbly." —James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate in Economic Science, Center for the Study of Public Choice, George Mason University, " Beyond Politics is a valuable analysis, making a cogent case for thoroughly rethinking what government should do. The book deserves wide reading." --John Engler, former Governor of Michigan, "Mitchell and Simmons make a lucid case for a market economy and limited constitutional government. Beyond Politics is the most effective introduction to this topic that is now available." --William A. Niskanen, former chairman, President's Council of Economic Advisors, " Beyond Politics is a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the failures of U.S. governmental policies, with important suggestions for how to correct them. The book is a thorough introduction to what is wrong with America's political system with remedies for its failure." --Dennis C. Mueller, professor of economics, University of Maryland, Beyond Politics is a solid work in all respects.

Synopsis
Providing students of economics, politics, and policy with a concise explanation of public choice, markets, property, and political and economic processes, this record identifies what kinds of actions are beyond the ability of government., Traditional public policy and welfare economics have held that "market failures"--the presumed inability of a free market to deliver certain goods and services deemed to be in the public interest--are common and require government intervention to protect the public good. But is this actually the case? Beyond Politics carefully scrutinizes this view through the modern theory of public choice and systematically explains how government is producing a scandal of political myopia, economic stagnation, and public distrust. The book traces the anatomy of "government failure" and a pathology of political institutions. Social welfare, consumer protection, education, trade, the environment, and crime are some of the topics the book examines. Originally published in 1995, Beyond Politics has been updated to provide readers with insights about the crash of 2008, America's fiscal crisis, and other realities of twenty-first century political economy. Offering a powerful perspective on market processes, property rights, politics, and government bureaucracy, this newly revised and updated edition is a lucid and comprehensive examination of the foundations of a free and humane society., Providing students of economics, politics, and policy with a concise explanation of public choice, markets, property, and political and economic processes, this record identifies what kinds of actions are beyond the ability of government. Combining public choice with studies of the value of property rights, markets, and institutions, this account produces a much different picture of modern political economy than the one accepted by mainstream political scientists and welfare economists. It demonstrates that when citizens request that their governments do more than it is possible, net benefits are reduced, costs are increased, and wealth and freedom are diminished. Solutions are also suggested with the goal to improve the lot of those who should be the ultimate sovereigns in a democracy: the citizens.
