About this listen
The second episode of the five-part podcast series on the book, "Public Choice – A Primer" by Dr Eamonn Butler, explores how and why governments exist, how collective decisions are made, and how electoral behaviour shapes policy outcomes.
Drawing from the chapters “Who Needs Government?” and “How to Win Elections,” the episode attempts to unpack the mechanisms of governance, the trade-offs inherent in collective decision-making, and the paradoxes of democratic participation.
This podcast series aims to reach a wider audience by making the key ideas of public choice theory more accessible.
Speaker:
Dr Pradeep Kumar B, Professor of Economics, Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, Kerala
Moderator:
Jofi J Francis, Senior Associate (Project Administration), Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR), Kerala
Tune in for an insightful conversation on the economic and political rationale behind governments, the inherent costs and trade-offs in collective decision-making, and how voter behaviour and political incentives shape policy outcomes.
