Item Economists Have No Clothes(2009) Buchanan, James M.Why have economists had so little meaningful to say about the 2008 crises? Where and when did the `science' get off the track? Can anything be done to restore respectability to Economics as a useful area of inquiry? This short essay examines these questions.Item The Limits of Market Efficiency(2011) Buchanan, James M.The framework rules within which either market or political activity takes place must be classified in the non-partitionability set under the Samuelson taxonomy. Therefore there is nothing comparable to the profit-loss dynamic of the market that will insure any continuing thrust toward more desirable rules. ‘Public choice’ has at least partially succeeded in getting economists to remove the romantic blinders toward politics and politicians as providers of non-partitionable goods. It is equally necessary to be hard-nosed in evaluating markets as providers of non-partitionable rules.
