| Zusammenfassung: | "Caplan argues that voters continually elect politicians who either share their biases or else pretend to, resulting in bad policies winning again and again by popular demand. Calling into question our most basic assumptions about American politics, Caplan contends that democracy fails precisely because it does what voters want. Through an analysis of American's voting behavior and opinions on a range of economic issues, he makes the case that noneconomists suffer from four prevailing biases: they underestimate the wisdom of the market mechanism, distrust foreigners, undervalue the benefits of conserving labor, and pessimistically believe the economy is going from bad to worse. Caplan lays out several ways to make democratic government work better |

Darst. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index "Caplan argues that voters continually elect politicians who either share their biases or else pretend to, resulting in bad policies winning again and again by popular demand. Calling into question our most basic assumptions about American politics, Caplan contends that democracy fails precisely because it does what voters want. Through an analysis of American's voting behavior and opinions on a range of economic issues, he makes the case that noneconomists suffer from four prevailing biases: they underestimate the wisdom of the market mechanism, distrust foreigners, undervalue the benefits of conserving labor, and pessimistically believe the economy is going from bad to worse. Caplan lays out several ways to make democratic government work better Bias gtt Democratie gtt Démocratie Economische politiek gtt Gouvernement représentatif Irrationaliteit gtt Kiesgedrag gtt Politique économique Rationalisme Sociologie politique Demokratie Wirtschaftspolitik Economic policy Democracy Political sociology Representative government and representation Rationalism Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Regierung (DE-588)4049012-9 gnd rswk-swf Irrationalität (DE-588)4162427-0 gnd rswk-swf Politische Soziologie (DE-588)4046558-5 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 gnd rswk-swf Wahlverhalten (DE-588)4079009-5 gnd rswk-swf Verenigde Staten gtt USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 s Wirtschaftspolitik (DE-588)4066493-4 s Wahlverhalten (DE-588)4079009-5 s DE-604 Politische Soziologie (DE-588)4046558-5 s Regierung (DE-588)4049012-9 s USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g DE-188 Irrationalität (DE-588)4162427-0 s http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip071/2006030855.html Table of contents only http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0704/2006030855-d.html Publisher description SWB Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=015581909&sequence=000007&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
