Naval gazing

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2012

I partly agree with the other review in that this book is essentially a glorified exercise in naval gazing and irrelevant to most people. However, that alone isn't a reason to attack the book. I do take away points because the book is too much a knee-jerk defense of rational choice against a knee-jerk attack on rational choice. If you haven't read Green and Shapiro's book critiquing rational choice, you'll feel like you're missing half the story. Some of the defenses of rational choice are a bit superficial in and of themselves (alleging that Green and Shapiro don't provide a sufficient alternative). If you're heavily invested in this debate, this book is probably worth owning, but even for other political scientists it's probably a bit superfluous.

If this isn't an academic debate... what is?

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2000

This is one of those books that is of interest only to a small, small percentage of people who are not just trying to USE rational choice for an end, but fairly interested in it as an intellectual device. As the review above indicates, it is a rejoinder to Green and Shapiro's work, and a capable one at that. ...
As one might imagine, this is not a book for pleasure reading so much as a group of scholars commenting on the minutia of an argument that only affected .01% of the US population. For more general reading on public choice, check out Muller's Public Choice II or Perspectives on Public Choice.
