Farber Daniel A. Farber, Frickey Philip P. Frickey Law and Public Choice

Annotation

In Law and Public Choice, Daniel Farber and Philip Frickey present a remarkably richand accessible introduction to the driving principles of public choice. In this, the firstsystematic look at the implications of social choice for legal doctrine, Farber and Frickeycarefully 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. Itshould 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 LawSchool
