Included in this present volume are thirty-five important writings by Buchanan on taxation and debt. These are grouped into the following major subject categories:
- Taxation, Politics, and Public Choice
- Earmarking and Incidence in Democratic Process
- Analytical and Ethical Foundations of Tax Limits
- The Fiscal Constitution
- Confessions of a Burden Monger
- Ricardian Equivalence
- The Constitution of a Debt-Free Polity
As Geoffrey Brennan points out in the foreword to this volume, “Although James Buchanan’s interests are wide-ranging, the core of his professional reputation as an economist and the origin of much of his broader thinking lie in public economics—in engagement with the questions of what governments do and how governments should properly finance what they do.” This volume together with its partner subsequent volume present clear and accessible insights into the rich economic work for which Buchanan is best known.
James M. Buchanan (1919–2013) was an eminent economist who won the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1986 and was considered one of the greatest scholars of liberty in the twentieth century.
