Why do politicians make the decisions they make? How do voters decide whom to support in an election? Is it possible to improve the living conditions of citizens through public policy? These are some of the questions that both political scientists and citizens often ask themselves. Professor Randall Holcombe will address these and other topics from the perspective of public choice in order to understand politics as it is, rather than as it should be.
