James M. Buchanan Knihy

Autor, James M. Buchanan, profesor ekonomie na George Mason University a zakladatel Centra pro studium veřejné volby, získal mezinárodní uznání a Nobelovu cenu za ekonomii za svou průkopnickou práci v oblasti teorie veřejné volby. Tato kniha je považována za jeho největší přínos teorii veřejné ekonomie. Význam zkoumání teorie veřejné volby roste, protože více než třetina produkce v tržně orientovaných ekonomikách je určena pro společenskou spotřebu. V době vzniku textu se studia veřejných financí soustředila na vliv státního sektoru na chování jednotlivců a firem. Buchanan však otevřel novou oblast zkoumáním vlivu těchto institucí na politické chování jednotlivců v demokratickém systému. Aplikoval standardní ekonomické teorie na modelování politického chování, včetně rozhodování o daních a veřejných výdajích. Témata jako rozdělování finančních prostředků, zdanění, státní dluh a nevyrovnané rozpočty jsou klíčová pro porozumění fungování veřejného sektoru. Kniha významně obohacuje odbornou ekonomickou literaturu v českém kontextu a stane se cenným přínosem pro odborníky, studenty, představitele státní správy a širokou veřejnost, kteří chtějí lépe porozumět veřejnému sektoru.

Tyto práce představují zřejmě jeho nejvýznamnější příspěvky k teorii veřejné volby.

Focusing on the doctrine of justification by faith, this book serves as a comprehensive guide rooted in classic covenant theology. Renowned scholars praise it for its clarity and depth, highlighting its ability to counter misconceptions in contemporary debates. The text is celebrated as a masterful exposition, regarded as the best on the subject, making it an essential resource for understanding saving grace within evangelical thought.

The thirty-one papers presented in this volume offer scholars and general readers alike a comprehensive introduction to the work of one of the greatest economists of the modern era. Many of Buchanan's most important essays are gathered in this inaugural volume of the twenty-volume series from Liberty Fund of his Collected Works. The editors have focused on papers that Buchanan has written without collaboration and which present Buchanan's earlier, classic statements on crucial subjects rather than his subsequent elaborations which appear in later volumes in the series. Included, too, is Buchanan's Nobel address, "The Constitution of Economic Policy," and the text of the Nobel Committee's press release explaining why Buchanan was awarded the prize for Economics in 1986. The volume also includes Buchanan's autobiographical essay, "Better Than Plowing," in which he gives not only a brief account of his life, but also his own assessment of what is important, distinctive, and enduring in his work. The foreword by the three series editors will be valuable to all readers who wish to engage the challenging but epochal writings of the father of modern public choice theory. --

It makes available to a wider audience contributions by some of the leading figures in the field. At the cutting edge of interdisciplinary research, it incorporates the latest developments in areas overlooked by neoclassical economists, including process analysis, methodological subjectivism, and phenomenological hermeneutics.This book should be of interest to all those who seek an alternative to formal, neoclassical economics, as well as other researchers in the social sciences who study exchange processes. In addition, it will be of general interest to Austrian and public choice economists as well as historians of economic thought.
