Product Description:
Societies function on the basis of rules. These rules, rather like the rules of the road, coordinate the activities of individuals who have a variety of goals and purposes. Whether the rules work well or ill, and how they can be made to work better, is a matter of major concern. Appropriately interpreted, the working of social rules is also the central subject matter of modern political economy. This book is about rules - what they are, how they work, and how they can be properly analysed. The authors' objective is to understand the workings of alternative political institutions so that choices among such institutions (rules) can be more fully informed. Thus, broadly defined, the methodology of constitutional political economy is the subject matter of The Reason of Rules. The authors have examined how rules for political order work, how such rules might be chosen, and how normative criteria for such choices might be established.

Summary: Subjectivist Economics at its best
Rating: 4
The notion of opportunity cost has now been tacitly accepted among mainstream economists and even included in conventional textbooks. I stress the word "tacit" because mainstream economists are quick to contrast this conception of cost with the more familiar one of direct outlay cost --- that is, the actual resources expended in production. I myself grappled with this dilemma for quite some time, and could see little way around it before encountering this book.
Buchanan accomplishes a lot in this book. Not only does he give a clear presentation of subjectivist cost theory, but he also explores the historical development of this intellectual tradition. The Austrian school is correctly credited for both coining and developing this concept. The tradition then settled and thrived under the aegis of Lionel Robbins and the London School of Economics (LSE).
It is best to grapple with the notion of cost as a consequence of planning. To try to tackle the problem of cost at the resource expenditure stage is to miss the point. A decision must be made for purposes of production (or human action generally). One is confronted with a variety of choices in this respect. The appraisal of these many alternatives is a subjective phenomenon. The weight one attaches to opportunities forgone cannot be measured, examined or compared. It would be difficult even to know what alternatives the planner was aware of. Cost then must be understood as an act of choosing. The cost in the act of decision making represents the plan one wishes to pursue at the expense of other alternatives. In short, if one wishes to understand what led to "direct outlay cost", one must understand the plan which gave rise to this expenditure and the setting in which that decision was made.
Let me also recommend another book (much better in my opinion, but entirely neglected) is L.S.E. Essays on Cost, edited by James M. Buchanan and G. F. Thirlby. There are some extraordinary essays contained in this volume, especially those of Thirlby and Wiseman.

Biobanks: Governance in Comparative Perspective
By Herbe Gottweis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publisher:Routledge
Number Of Pages:176
Publication Date:2008-08-19
ISBN-10 / ASIN:041542738X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415427388
Binding:Paperback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
Taking a different approach to biobanks - genetic databases that combine genetic information derived from blood samples with personal data about environment, medical history, lifestyle or genealogy, this book draws attention to their political and governance implications. It argues that for biobanks to be created, shaped, maintained, and to operate properly, a number of interrelated conditions need to exist, from legal environment to funding mechanisms and social acceptance.
The book takes a comparative focus, with chapters on biobanks in Iceland, Estonia, Scandinavia, France, US, Japan, UK, Germany, Australia and Israel, and is divided into three parts which:
introduce the conceptual framework that underpins the volume
focus on biobanks as a challenge for governance
emphasize biobanks as a tool and site for governance.
This groundbreaking book makes clear that biobanks are a phenomenon that cannot be disconnected from considerations of power, politics, and the reshaping of current practices in governance. It will be a valuable read for scholars and students of genetics, bioethics, risk, public health and the sociology of health and illness.
