Nancy MacLean, Democracy in Chains: A conspiracy theory trashing the intellectual legacy of 1986 Nobel Laureate James Buchanan. Note the lack of a link: this book will worsen your understanding of the world rather than improve it.
James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock, The Calculus of Consent: Societies are comprised of individuals who have to make choices at a constitutional level. With Calculus of Consent, Buchanan and Tullock opened an enormous research agenda exploring how the rules are made and to whose benefit.
James Buchanan, Why I, Too, Am Not a Conservative: F.A. Hayek was not a “conservative” in the European sense but a classical liberal. So was James Buchanan.
