James M. Buchanan – Ideas, Persons, & Events: The Collected Works of James M. Buchanan, Volume 19
An essay collection that shows Buchanan’s wide range of interests. Most economists stick to their discipline, rarely wandering outside its comfortable enclosure. Buchanan thought, read, and wrote on a much bigger scale, incorporating political science, philosophy, history, literature, and more into his work. About the only thing Buchanan wasn’t interested in was agrarian poetry, a bizarre allegation of some of his critics. And he was delighted to be at least as influenced by his colleagues as they were by him. Those aspects of this book, and Buchanan’s larger research program, are as valuable as its contents.
