Open Secrets of American Foreign Policy
"This book provides an analysis of the political, economic and military history of American foreign policy, with the aim of divulging important details that most people have either never learned or forgotten - hence the phrase "open secrets". Covering events such as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the American Revolution, as well as American involvement in the Korean War and the collapse of Nationalist China, this book debunks a number of myths he…

In Response to Saltman
Saltman's comment ( PS , July 2004, 383) simply ignores the bulk of my previous letter ( PS , January 2004, 1–2) which dealt with Alabama. I gather that there he agrees with Russell and myself. Thus, there is no dispute on the question of whether Nixon or Kennedy had more popular votes in 1960. His criticism concerns my feeling, originally suggested by Russell, that with more political honesty on the part of the Chicago and Texas machines, Nixon …

Undemocratic Governments
I wish to thank Friedrich Schneider, University of Linz, and Anne van Aaken, Humboldt‐University Berlin, for their very helpful comments on this paper. Special thanks also go to Stephan Meier, University of Zurich, for helping me revise the paper.
Efficient Rent-Seeking
Some time ago one of the editors (Gordon Tullock) stumbled on a paradox in the competition for rents. He asked a previous research assistant (William Hunter) to work out some examples and gave a seminar on it. For reasons he cannot recall (but probably bad) he titled his talk 'Efficient Rent Seeking'. As Editor of Public Choice he was able to publish without a referee. Incidentally, The Journal of Political Economy had turned it down on the groun…

Further Comments on Penalty and Crime
Punishment is defined as the properly discounted imprisonment that a criminal can expect if he commits a crime. The specific term in prison enacted by the legislature, however, may not deter crime. This is because the prospects for actually serving that sentence are small. Tsebelis apparently believes that the police sabotage legislature acts in order to reach their own goals. Assuming that the police are free from supervision that might be true,…

A New and Superior Process for Making Social Choices
This paper describes and elaborates a process first discovered by Edward H. Clarke that motivates individuals to reveal their true preferences for public goods. The essence of the process is that each individual is offered a chance to change the outcome that would occur without his vote by paying a special charge equal to the net cost to others that results from including his vote in the decision. Because the special charge on any one person is n…

The Paradox of Not Voting for Oneself
In most states it is permitted to write in the names on the ballot, and these write-in candidates can win if they assemble enough votes. Thus, in all elections in which I might conceivably participate, there are at least three candidates: the Republicans, the Democrats, and my own favorite candidate for president-Gordon Tullock. Indeed, using the notation of the Ferejohn and Fiorina article, assuming that we are talking about 1972, I would find k…

Games and Preference
Game theory has had a considerable impact on the way we talk about problems and on our reasoning. But this has been more or less a philosophical effect. When it comes to formal reasoning, the calculation of a mixed strategy is characteristically either impossible or misleading

The Welfare Costs of Tariffs, Monopolies, and Theft
In recent years a considerable number of studies have been published that purport to measure the welfare costs of monopolies and tariffs. The results have uniformly shown very small costs for practices that economists normally deplore. This led Mundell to comment in 1962 that “Unless there is a thorough theoretical re-examination of the validity of the tools upon which these studies are founded someone will inevitably draw the conclusion that eco…
