Tomado de la Introduction: "The first reaction to the of our book is likely to be “What? An Austro-libertarian critique of Public Choice? Surely, there is a typographical error here!” Many scholars would argue that Austrian economics, the libertarian political philosophy, and public choice are all, well, if not identical, then at least in the same political economic philosophical camp. To be sure, there is evidence that might support such an interpretation: The Edward Elgar publishing company issues a compendium of their new books. The title of this flyer? “Public Choice and Austrian Economics.” It cannot be denied that at least they see an intimate connection between the two. One of James Buchanan's many books Cost and Choice is not only entirely compatible with Austrian economics, but makes important contributions to this school of thought. Needless to say, this author, along with Gordon Tullock, is widely acknowledged to be the creator of the Public Choice movement… Nevertheless, it is the contention of the present book that while to be sure there are some commonalities between libertarianism, Austrianism, and Public Choice, there are also deep dark and wide chasms between all three. We come, in the vernacular, mainly not to praise the latter of this trio, but to underscore many of its flaws... The essays which follow, the entire remainder of the book, while do acknowledge the contributions of Public Choice to liberty, to our understanding, of economics and politics, are also highly critical. But these thoughts do not emanate from critics of the market. Very much to the contrary, the present authors are strong adherents of the system of natural liberty. Our main complaint is not that Public Choice, too, do not veer in this direction, but that it does not go far enough along that path."
