The big difference of opinion between Jasai between James Buchanan and Anthony is whether it is positive to devise a constitution that effectively constrains the state and limits its power and danger. Many other classical liberals and liberals struggled with the same question (including Friedrich Hayek), but the opposition between Buchanan and de Jasai is a paradigm. The two thinkers provide two very different answers reported in “social choices” reported by the theory of public choices, and reported in the same neoclassical, subjectivist, non-nutritist, and “social choices”. It is clear that Buchanan had a major influence on the American constitutional experience, that his theory is particularly inherited in this country, and that the universal meaning of Altochochho is. As for Jasai’s criticism of Buchanan, it cannot be explained in depth or immediately.
James Buchanan argued that institutions could be devised that would restrict the state to remain within the restrictions agreed to all citizens. These restrictions are defined by rules of unanimous action in social virtual contracts. You are in his own self-interest (as opposed to all, all wars) that each participant lives in a peaceful society. Hennce, the need to create a nation to enforce social contracts and reassure that the state does not become a tool for domination and explanation. The Constitution plays this role. As individuals have a veto, the backside of unanimity – is a hymn to enjoy the benefits of social life, we know very well that everything must be added to the social contract and the constitution of the state. This limits the likelihood of holdouts, even if the rules adopted could still allow secondary payments to those who think the overall situation of anarchy will be better.
(Two important technical books are Buchanan’s “Limits of Freedom,” and Jeffrey Brennan is the reason for the rules.)
Jasai’s Anthony argues that the social contract is a fictitious, useless structure. Public goods can be provided personally. Otherwise, it should not be produced at all. Unanimous agreement on general rules is not possible as it is comparable to the probabilistic outcome in the heat of redistribution. Believing that the Constitution can effectively constrain the state is a hopeful way of thinking. Social choice regimes (collective choices) – that is, those of the non-indifferent desions, all created by the Constitution, remain unrestricted. Democratic politics leads to a redistributive coalition that fights for more money and privileges from the government at the expense of fellow citizens. Qualifications and “public goods” grow into non-rulers. If the qualified majority of the decisive coalition (50% and 1) does not change it, then enough of their members can be fed to the switch side. Under democracy, the constitution to eat to win is the power of a naked majority against the unlimited realm.
(See Jasay’s Econlib review of politics, or better yet, chapter 2 of the book.)
The American constitutional history over the past century and a half, as well as the rapid erosion of current constitutional constraints certainly does not rebuttal to Jasai’s theory. A similar story could talk about the history of the French constitution, and the unwritten constitution like the UK. However, an ideal anarchist is not without difficulty.
The SubTimes, Buchanan and Jasai appeared to be converged by suspicion that each of them raised their own theory. Jasai admitted that if Buchanan had rightly been able to constrain the nation, he would have been happy (see my regulatory review of Jasai’s justice and its environment). Buchanan observes that many (or otherwise, otherwise) are treated to be free to be treated like a child: Dependent aideratum, Public Choice, 2015).
