  • Robert D. Tollison

Abstract

This collection brings together the classic papers on the economics of rent seeking. These papers date from Gordon Tullock’s original 1967 paper which first put forth the idea that the pursuit of transfers was socially costly. Other classic papers by Anne Krueger and Richard Posner are included, as well as a series of more recent papers which trace the evolution of the literature on this important innovation in economic theory.
