Paperback. Zustand: Fair. This book raises and addresses questions about the consequences of democratic institutions for economic performance. Do institutions of accountability inside and outside government through periodic elections produce efficient results, or do they lead to the kind of accumulation of special privileges and protections from market competition that reduces efficiency and growth? Professor Keech suggests that there are modest and bearable costs of democratic procedures, comparable to the agency costs incurred whenever a principal delegates authority to an agent. Democracy, however, does not systematically cause inferior macroeconomic policy detrimental to a population's long-term welfare. Rather, there is a logical circularity among voter preferences, institutions, and economic and political outcomes. This accessible synthesis and sharp perspective will be highly useful for professionals, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduates aiming to understand the relationship between politics and economics.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Slim 8vo. [8], ix, [3] 113, [3] pp. Black cloth with silver lettering on the front board and spine. Part of the American Politics Research Series. Here Keech studies the social conditions of Black American life in two southern cities, and how the right to vote has improved or left unchanged the quality of life for Black Americans. Keech breaks down the methods he uses to conduct his study, and analyzes Black voter turnout across the South. He examines if Black voters have significantly influenced the public sector and private sector of the United States. Keech ultimately finds that the effects of Jim Crow and institutionalized slavery are so great that it will take more than the ability to vote to equalize the living conditions of Black and White Americans.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neu neuware, importqualität, auf lager - This book uses macroeconomic performance to evaluate democratic institutions and processes in the United States. Originally published in 1995, this revised edition gives a more pessimistic assessment than the first did. Employing macroeconomic performance as a lens to evaluate democratic institutions, the author uses public choice and political economy models of political behavior that give room for opportunism on the part of public officials and shortsightedness on the part of voters to see if democratic institutions lead to inferior macroeconomic performance. What has happened since the publication of the first edition to make the conclusions about democratic performance more pessimistic The author finds that informal institutions of democracy, such as the norm that the federal budget should be balanced, have deteriorated so that performance suffers.…
