Public Choice Theory in 2 minutes and 20 seconds

Rick Lowe

Hat tip to Professor at Cafe Hayek for the link to this great video.

“Why did politicians cut a trivial amount of money in the recent budget agreement? Prof. Ben Powell, Suffolk University economist (and GMU PhD), explains why politicians don’t cut spending, as a general rule. Using public choice economics, or the economics of politics, he shows how the political system naturally leads to overspending.”
