Public Choice - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Public choice is a theory in economics and political science that applies the principles of economics to political decision-making. It treats politicians, government officials, and voters as rational actors who pursue their self-interest. Public choice explores how these interests affect government policies and actions, highlighting issues like rent-seeking, the influence of interest groups, and the inefficiencies of collective decisions. | |||
