Public Choice Society

The Public Choice Society is an organization that focuses on the intersection of economics and political science, studying how individuals make decisions in political contexts. It applies economic principles to analyze the behavior of politicians, voters, and interest groups, viewing them as self-interested actors. By understanding these dynamics, the society aims to improve public policy and governance. Founded in the 1960s, it promotes research and discussion on topics like collective choice, voting behavior, and the impact of incentives on political outcomes, helping to shed light on the complexities of democracy and public decision-making processes.
