The Democratic Foundations of Buchanan's Work
Channel: Mercatus Center
Date: 2018-03-27

In Part 2 of the conversation, Richard Wagner illustrates how Buchanan's work was fundamentally rooted in public finance, and grew into different branches of research leading to questions about the problems self-governing societies face, the relationship between governance and responsibility, and ultimately a research program in constitutional political economy.

(This video is partially funded by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation on “Work, Self- governance, and the Challenge of Unsustainable Dependency.” The grant is for a three-year project to explore the themes of work and self-governance as well as the root causes and consequences of the modern shift toward a greater reliance on government efforts to solve collective challenges.)
