Public Choice Theory Made Simple

Sinopsis

"Public Choice Theory Made Simple" explains why it's often expected that governments should address market failures, and the critical flaws in this belief. We discuss how markets are competitive processes, and without perfect competition, we cannot know what might have happened if it did exist. Thus, governments cannot fix market failures; they can only eliminate obstacles to competition. When externalities are blamed for market failures, it is argued that markets should determine the value of those externalities to the affected individuals.
The coercive power of governments and the absence of direct competition in the political system often lead to 'government failure,' which can be more dangerous than market failure. In representative democracies, the self-interest of a few individuals can result in decisions detrimental to the majority.
The term 'market failure' is frequently used by politicians, journalists, and students, but many lack a proper understanding of the government's ability to address these failures. Public Choice economics applies insights about human behavior to the process of government, offering valuable lessons for those interested in public policy.
This book helps readers understand the limitations of government intervention in market failures and explains the implications of Public Choice economics for designing government systems, a topic highly relevant in contemporary political debates.

A Modest Proposal

Jonathan Swift

'I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.'

One of the most-studied pieces of satire in history, 'A Modest Proposal' is a darkly funny yet scathing critique of British colonialism from an Irish lens.

First published in 1729 to much backlash, Swift goes to great lengths to illustrate a potential solution to poverty and overpopulation in Ireland: parents undergoing economic hardship ought to sell their children as food for the upper classes. A masterclass in irony, Swift delves into the financial benefits of his suggestion, even offering numerous ways to prepare babies for consumption. A powerful and shocking criticism of the dire conditions of Ireland and indifference of the British government at the time, 'A Modest Proposal' remains widely read to this day. This audiobook edition is narrated by the talented Malk Williams.
Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was an Irish writer and satirist, famed for his deadpan style of writing. He is best remembered for his satirical works 'A Modest Proposal (1729) and Gulliver's Travels (1726). A master in the art of irony, future works of satire in his style of hyperbole have subsequently been classed as 'Swiftian'.

The Cost of Conviction - How Our...

Steven Sloman

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues. In this book, Sloman provides a new understanding of today's societal ills and grounds that understanding in science. 
 
 
 
The book begins by covering the philosophical and conceptual background of the two decision-making strategies, then takes a deep dive into the psychology of decision making. Drawing on historical and current examples of the use of the two strategies, the author provides a thorough overview of the psychology of decision making, including work on judgment, conscious and unconscious decision-making processes, the roles of emotion, and even an analysis of habit and addiction. 
 
 
 
With its unique emphasis on sacred values, The Cost of Conviction is an eye-opening must-listen for all decision makers, especially those who wish to understand judgment, social decision making, and leadership.

Unfinished Business - The...

Henry McLeish, James Mitchell

We want to move beyond politics in which each party seeks to outmanoeuvre others and score a decisive victory. This leads to political stalemate. We want to reflect on the successes and failures of devolution and offer a series of proposals for reform that could be embraced by a broad swathe of opinion.
What were the hopes and aspirations of devolution?
To what extent has devolution been successful?
What are the challenges and opportunities ahead?
How can we meet the challenges and best take advantage of opportunities?
Where is Scotland heading on its unfinished journey?
How will changes in the rest of the UK impact on this journey?
In  1999, legislation was passed to create the Scottish Parliament and the Consultative Steering Group (CSG) issued its report on the Scottish Parliament's guiding principles. Four key principles were set out in the CSG report reflecting the hopes and aspirations of campaigners for a Scottish Parliament: sharing power between the people, legislators and government; greater accountability from government to Parliament to the people; facilitating accessibility, openness and responsiveness; and promoting equality. These principles remain as relevant today as they were at the Parliament's establishment though much has changed in the intervening quarter century.
In this book, former First Minister Henry McLeish, Minister responsible for devolution and chair of the CSG, and Professor James Mitchell of Edinburgh University consider the journey Scotland has been on – the challenges, obstacles and opportunities in seeking to achieve these hopes and expectations.
