Stearns and Zywicki’s Public Choice Concepts and Applications in Law is the only course book specifically designed to instruct law students in the discipline of public choice. The book provides a comprehensive but nontechnical overview of interest group theory, social choice theory, game theory, and elementary price theory. It ties these concepts to a wide range of topics in both public and private law. The book contains chapters devoted to each set of methodological tools and specific institutional settings: legislatures, courts, executive branch and bureaus, and constitutions.

Great introduction to economics and public choice theory

Before reviewing, I must give a brief preface. A current professor of mine, Todd Zywicki, is one of the authors of this book.

I'm about half-way through this book and I've found it useful. I'm not an economist, so I don't have a great understanding of the basics of economics. This book makes it easy for a law student to understand the basic economic concepts while using examples from the law. That said, I think the book would be hard for someone who is unfamiliar with the law because the book seems to be written precisely for the purpose of teaching a law course on public choice. The examples are very helpful to my understanding and the sections end with questions that help you to think about the application of the ideas in different situations. The questions also help to provide you with fodder for reaction papers and a final course paper.

All in all, the book is well-written and informative.

Garbage

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013

I am an economist and I found this to be terribly written. Had to fact check everything as much of what is concluded is factually incorrect. Don't waste your money.
