The fifth volume of The Collected Works of Arthur Seldon
In this volume Arthur Seldon uses public choice economics to support his theory of over-government.
Seldon explains how the results of government programmes are always at odds with what the people would have chosen for themselves, because governments seek to impose taxes and legislature based on their own agendas.
Seldon purports that any government that continues to force its own views and desires on the unwilling public will lead to its own demise as the public searches elsewhere for a more representative democracy.
