Jag har gjort en spellista om public choice, det allra bästa jag sett på nätet. Totalt sett tror jag de förklarar rätt bra om hur det politiska systemet fungerar och vilka incitament som finns inom staten, samt lite om hur ett polycentriskt system fungerar. Den som vill argumentera vetenskapligt måste ta hänsyn till den här informationen, så den fungerar bra att skicka till sossar och vänstermänniskor också, om de vill hitta en vetenskaplig lösning på politiken - vilket alla säger att de gör, och det enda som står i vägen för dem är att de inte läst på tillräckligt mycket.

Ursprungligen postat av The Economics of Public Choice
An introduction and in-depth overview of the realm of politics, as seen from an economic perspective. The theory of public choice has been described as "politics without the romance"; it looks at the incentives that drives political action, the different ways that people act to enact a policy or legislation, and what types of political systems can exist and how they function.
These videos cover the following topics: rational ignorance, rational irrationality, political extortion, rent-seeking, fiscal illusion, Tullock lotteries, Arrow's impossibility theorem, public goods, externalities, the median voter theorem, the selectorate theory of political choice, the economics of democracies, dictatorships and anarchies; the coasian framework for normative questions in economics plus some history of the discipline. These topics should be of interest to everyone involved in making ethical political decisions.
I have listed them in the following style: 1-5 Introductions, 6 some connection to the peculiarlness of the human mind, 7-10 applications, 11-19 theories on political action in general and in democracies and polycentric orders, 20-21 on externalities and how they are solved (important for any utilitarian) and 22-23 an interview with James M. Buchanan, one of the founders of modern public choice theory.
Except for maybe on or two (Tullock and maybe de Mesquita), the lecturers in these videos are classical liberals or libertarians, so they might reflect some bias against favoring infringements on our natural/negative liberty. Reflecting, as in giving the view that the regulatory state is X% harmful, when it is only X-5% harmful - or that regulation X is negative when it is actually positive.
