Undergrad Public Choice, Summer 2008

Starting next week, I will be teaching a month-long course on Public Choice. Any comments on the syllabus would be appreciated (the sooner, the better). It can be found at:

For the first half of the class, we will be going over the basics of Public Choice, which of course focuses on democratic political systems. In the second half, I am covering some newer and somewhat unorthodox areas, such as the work of Caplan and Wittman, non-democratic political systems, and economic history that falls within the general Public Choice line. I'm looking forward to a fun and interesting class!
