Abstract

This chapter attempts to impose analytical order on my 6 years as a city council member and 4 years as mayor of a small Utah city. It traces how Buchanan and Tullock affected my academic and public life and the difficulties of being a public choice mayor. The Buchanan/Tullock enterprise provides insights to how people act badly when trying to act through government and do good when acting in voluntary small groups.
