Teoria da Escolha Pública

«In the past many economists have argued that the way to rein in "market failures" such as monopolies is to introduce government action. But public choice economists point out that there also is such a thing as "government failure." That is, there are reasons why government intervention does not achieve the desired effect.» por Jane S. Shaw

«"We do it just for you!", per Ronald McDonald
Well, not really. Politicians do not devote their lives for your and my benefits anymore than McDonalds does. Strangely, however, many people think so -- including university professors that teach politics and philosophy. The most important contribution of Public Choice Theoryis that it recognizes that politicians are motivated by self interest -- just like you and me. In fact, more so than you and me! If that is so, and it is, then our expectations of politicians changes dramatically.» por Leon Felkins

Engraçado, não?
