520 8 |a "Using the framework of public choice theory, Holcombe shows how American government grew more democratic and how this resulted in an increase in the size and scope of government. He argues that economic and political systems are not separate entities but are intimately intertwined, and that there are inherent tensions between democratic government and the market economy. The book should appeal to historians, political scientists, and economists who are interested in the evolution of American government but does not assume any specialized training and can be read by anyone interested in American political history."--Jacket.
