The demand and supply of government : what we want and what we get / by H. Scott Gordon.: EC22-3/1977-79E-PDF
"Professor Gordon points out that any satisfactory analysis of the operation of a social institution, such as "the government" must stand upon two legs: (a) a scientific empirical examination of the economic and social effects of specific governmental policies and modes of operation and (b) the use of valid criteria concerning the general social ends which the policies and operations of government are expected to serve. His paper is concerned with the second of these two legs"--Abstract, p. i.
