Contents:

Some difficulties in the existing theory of externalities Coase and all that More on why government? The poor The legacy of Bismarck Some biological problems The rich A survey of the existing system Rent seeking War Monarchies and dictatorships What, if anything, should we do?

Summary: Economists frequently justify government as dealing with externalities, which it certainly does. Gordon Tullock looks at governmental activity that internalises such externalities in this new, original work. However, government can also create. Many standard government activities such as road building, war and internal policing were originally introduced by monarchical governments for the benefit of the monarch and not to eliminate externalities
