Podcast appearances and mentions of James M Buchanan

Send us a textWhat happens when people stop trusting rules—and start rewriting them?In this episode, we are joined by economist Edward Lopez about the life and legacy of James M. Buchanan, the Nobel Prize-winning founder of public choice economics. We begin by unpacking Buchanan's biography and intellectual roots: what shaped his worldview, who influenced his thinking, and why his work remains foundational to understanding government, rules, and freedom.From there, we dive into the rich ideas in The Limits of Liberty—a dense but powerful book in which Buchanan asks: How can free individuals live together without descending into chaos or coercion? Lopez shares with us Buchanan's key questions, his analytical framework, and the underlying principles that guide his work—especially his emphasis on rules, consent, and the boundaries of state power.We explore questions like:Who was James Buchanan, and why does his work matter today?What makes Buchanan a “consummate Smithian” and a classical liberal?What are the central ideas in The Limits of Liberty—and why are they still so relevant?How does public choice theory reshape how we understand politics, institutions, and individual freedom?Edward Lopez is a professor of economics and the BB&T Distinguished Professor of Capitalism at Western Carolina University. He directs the Center for the Study of Free Enterprise and is the past president of the Public Choice Society. His work focuses on the intersection of law, economics, and political processes, especially in the tradition of public choice and constitutional political economy.If you've ever wondered what holds free societies together—or what happens when the rules start to break—this episode is for you.Want to explore more? Intellectual Portrait Series: A Conversation with James BuchananPierre Lemieux, Lessons and Challenges in The Limits of Liberty, at Econlib.Randy Simmons on Public Choice, a Great Antidote podcast.Sandra Peart on Ethical Quandaries and Politics Without Romance, a Great Antidote podcast.Edward Lopez, Socialism from the Bottom Up: Where Lawson and Powell Meet Hayek and Buchanan, at Econlib.Support the showNever miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

This episode of Economics Explored explores the theory of Ricardian equivalence, a proposition that fiscal policy measures like tax cuts or stimulus payments may not effectively boost the economy if households anticipate higher future taxes to pay off government debt. Host Gene Tunny explains the concept originating from David Ricardo and popularized by Robert Barro, involving ultra-rational consumer optimization over infinite time horizons. While an elegant theoretical model, Ricardian equivalence relies on unrealistic assumptions and fails empirical tests. Evidence shows households do increase spending after rebates or transfers, although not always by as much as policy makers would like. Ultimately, while the merits of discretionary fiscal policy are debatable, Ricardian equivalence is too extreme a hypothesis. Households do not behave as ultra-rational dynamic optimizing models predict.Please get in touch with us with any questions, comments and suggestions by emailing us at contact@economicsexplored.com or sending a voice message via https://www.speakpipe.com/economicsexplored. You can listen to the episode via the embedded player below or via podcasting apps including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcast and Spotify.TakeawaysFive takeaways from this episode are:1. Ricardian equivalence is an elegant theoretical model but relies on unrealistic assumptions about rational consumer behavior.2. Empirical evidence overwhelmingly finds that households do increase spending after tax rebates or fiscal stimulus, contrary to Ricardian equivalence predictions.3. Related concepts like Friedman's permanent income hypothesis are more nuanced but also face limitations in fully explaining consumer decisions.4. While fiscal policy faces challenges, Ricardian equivalence is not a compelling argument against its effectiveness due to failures of the underlying theory.5. Examining economic models against real-world evidence is important for evaluating their validity and implications for policy.TimestampsIntroduction.

This episode of the Popperian Podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Michael Munger. They speak about James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock‘s book The Calculus of Consent: Logical Foundations of Constitutional Democracy, and how it is that rational individuals agree to be coerced by consenting to the rules which define their political system. Michael Munger is a professor of economics and political science, and former department chair of political science, at Duke University. His research interests include the study of ideology, legislative institutions, elections, and public policy, especially campaign finance. Michael received his PhD in economics from Washington University in St. Louis in 1984, and authored, co-authored and coedited multiple books.

"I politici e i burocrati non sono diversi dal resto di noi. Essi tenteranno di sfruttare al massimo gli incentivi che gli si presentano, proprio come tutti gli altri" - James BuchananNato nel Tennessee nel 1919, James M. Buchanan fu un ricercatore di grande creatività, che ha dato contributi di grande rilievo alle scienze sociali. Egli incominciò studiando la finanza pubblica: il modo in cui si finanzia lo Stato. Questi studi gli fecero incrociare la tradizione degli economisti italiani, da Francesco Ferrara e Vilfredo Pareto alla scienza delle finanze, appunto, da cui trasse l'idea che si potesse usare la cassetta degli attrezzi dell'economia per comprendere la politica.Con Buchanan quelle idee trovarono sistematizzazione nella cosiddetta public choice, l'economia delle scelte pubbliche.Buchanan tentò di dare anche una sua risposta alla questione capitale di quale sia il buon ordine politico, sottolineando l'importanza (in linea con la tradizione liberale) di regole di rango costituzionale difficilmente aggirabili nella gestione del settore pubblico a scapito degli interessi comuni ed individuali. Insignito del Premio Nobel nel 1986, Buchanan ci ha lasciato degli strumenti analitici ancora del tutto attuali anche rispetto ai fenomeni politici dei nostri giorni.Protagonista:Lisa KinspergherOspite:Luigi Curini, professore di Scienza politica presso l'Università degli Studi di MilanoConsigli di lettura:‘Un potenziale della tirannia nella politica come scienza'; ‘Scelta Sociale: democrazia e liberi mercati', in Stato, Mercato e Libertà, di James M.

What do we expect from our public servants? We assume they do their jobs in order to make the world a better place and improve the welfare of society but James M Buchanan had other ideas. He saw those in power looking to do what's best for them rather than for the people they represent and unfortunately the news cycle seems to support this seemingly cynical view. Public Choice Theory won Buchanan the Nobel Prize in Economics and in this third episode of our fifth season, your friendly neighbourhood economists Pete and Gav, take you through the life and ideas of James Buchanan. Along the way, you can test your knowledge on middle names, consider the viewpoint that the free market is the most ethical economic system and whether you would like to drink zucchini wine!

The American Constitution provides the ‘nuts and bolts of liberty,’ putting constraints on the government and promising equality before the law. But the challenge is that it relies on state officials to enforce the law impartially. What if the blockchain could help us avoid these human-level implementation problems and effectively automate some features of our bureaucracy? Dr. Nick Cowen is a lecturer in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Lincoln and the author of the paper, ‘Markets for Rules: The Promise and Peril of Blockchain Distributed Governance.’ Today, Nick is back to discuss the potential benefits of blockchain governance structures, including the ability to apply law impartially and reduce censorship. He explores the idea of consent as it applies to the blockchain and explains how the technology prevents the off-diagonals that manifest out of subsidiarity. Nick weighs in on whether the blockchain will become a competition to be the best or the most permissive and describes how the technology might influence our political systems—and vice versa. Listen in for Nick’s insight around the application of civil versus common law traditions via the blockchain and learn how we can leverage blockchain technology for environmental governance.

James M. Buchanan (1919-2013) var økonom og anvendte ikke alene økonomiske redskaber til at belyse snævre økonomiske problemer, men også bl.a. politiske. Han er en af grundlæggerne af public choice-teorien (rational choice), dvs. studiet af politik med udgangspunkt i vælgere og beslutningstagere som rationelle, egennyttige aktører. Tilgangen fik afgørende indflydelse på moderne politologi, og han modtog i 1986 Nobelprisen i økonomi på baggrund af denne forskning. ”James M. Buchanan”, der indgår i bogserien Statskundskabens klassikere, er skrevet Otto Brøns-Petersen. I denne podcast er Otto Brøns-Petersen i samtale med professor i statskundskab Peter Nedergaard.

For the uninitiated, governance may seem like a side note. But in this exciting podcast, Thomas Cox, Chief Governance Officer at StrongBlock, is here to talk to us about “Governance 101 in a blockchain ecosystem”. Prior to StrongBlock, Thomas worked at Block.one which raised $4 billion in an ICO and launched the crypto currency EOS. He helped them set up their governance infrastructure. It was the first blockchain technology that allowed for governance to be done on chain in a variety of different ways.   What is blockchain? A blockchain is just a ledger that has very serious promises around safety and security. When something is recorded on that ledger you can’t deny that it was there, you can’t change it and if you try to you will leave fingerprints of your attempt. This now creates a shared source of trust with players within your ecosystem. So instead of having insurance carriers and brokers disputing each versions of their respective truth you now have a shared system that all parties can be working from with a single shared version of the truth. This means as enterprises we can stop struggling over whose data to believe and now our struggle shifts into how do we make the data we all work from better.   What is governance? Governance is essentially composed of three core statements: It’s making collective decisions Carrying those decisions out Tweaking the process for making the decisions Thomas Cox, recommends anyone interested in governance to read James M. Buchanan, The Calculus of Consent: Logical Foundations of Constitutional Democracy.   What is a consortium? A collective or a consortium is any group that gives up some of their individual power to the collective, to the entity that they're joining. Such that they can if they lose the vote, they're still bound by the majority decision and they can't opt out. For example, in a consortium you have to figure out the following: Who is in and who is out? What are the criteria’s for joining? How to record proof that someone has joined and if there’s a free to joining how do you record proof of payment? What are the rules members of the consortium have to abide by? How is that proved? How to normalise the data definitions by establishing common data standards? How to harmonise the data flows and processes? So that for example rekeying of information isn’t necessary anymore. If you’re going to play in the blockchain space, you’re most likely going to be doing it within a consortium and you’ll find that all of the work that you do to set up a consortium is about 90% the same work you have to do to set up a blockchain between your organisations. You can download his presentation on: Politics and Governance of Consortium Blockchains as delivered 23-Jan-2019 Seoul If the above represent 90% of setting up a blockchain system then why not do the extra 10% of effort to create a shared ledger where you can have that shared truth between all the parties? Consortias aren’t something new. When people have very risky endeavours, they build consortia’s to find wants tackle the endeavour together. All blockchain is doing is helping us automate and smooth something that we've been doing as human beings for thousands of years.  We have a new tool to solve an old problem Thomas cannot imagine a future in which a consortium forms and they don't set up a blockchain to formalize the operation of that consortium. Thomas cannot imagine going to all that work of really setting it up a consortium properly and having it work well and not taking the extra ten percent of effort to implement it in an automated distributed ledger that just dramatically reduces the friction of day-to-day business operations.   The three phases of governance? Pre-constitution phase In the pre-constitution phase decisions are made to determine how is the consortium going to be structured. For example it could be in a unicameral,

Peter Boettke sits down with Richard Wagner to revisit some of Wagner's works on the theories of James Buchanan, political economy, and fiscal sociology. Wagner discusses his treatment of Buchanan in 'James M. Buchanan and Liberal Political Economy' in comparison to Boettke's treatment of Hayek in 'F. A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy,' and the pair take a peek at Wagner's forthcoming work on macroeconomics. CC Music: Twisterium

Jorge Braga de Macedo é economista, professor universitário e alguém que dispensa mais apresentações. É actualmente Professor e director do Centro Globalização e Governação (CG&G) da Nova SBE, mas isto é só a ponta do iceberg de um currículo longo, onde se destaca, inevitavelmente, o cargo de Ministro das Finanças, que exerceu no último governo de Cavaco Silva, entre 1991 e 1993.  Como digo no início da conversa, falámos a pretexto de um livro organizado pelo convidado, e publicado pela Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, sobre o ensino da macroeconomia em Portugal depois do 25 de abril. O livro foi, então, pretexto para conversarmos sobre o enorme desafio que foi gerir a economia portuguesa naquele período, sobre a evolução do pensamento macroeconómico a nível global, que inevitavelmente influenciou a discussão. Por comparação, falámos também sobre a crise de 2008 (fazia 10 anos da falência da Lehman Brothers no dia em que gravámos) e, inevitavelmente, sobre o paralelo com a Crise de 29. Um aviso aos ouvintes: Ao ouvir a conversa, é inevitável que sintam a falta de contextualização em relação a alguns nomes, conceitos ou factos que parecem ‘cair do nada’ durante a conversa. Fui tentando explicar alguns pontos, mas é inevitável que tenha deixado passar alguns. Por isso, e como é hábito, deixo na descrição do episódio, links para sites explicativos do que foi sendo falado. Espero que ajude!
