Paperback. Etat : New. Why is an understanding of political competition essential for the study of public economics and public policy generally? How can political competition be described and understood, and how does it differ from its strictly economic counterpart? What are the implications of the fact that policy proposals in a democracy must always pass a political test? What are the strengths and weaknesses of electoral competition as a mechanism for the allocation of economic resources? Why are tax structures in democratic polities so complicated, and what implications follow from this for normative views about good policy choice? How can we measure the intensity of political competition, why and how does it vary in mature democracies, and what are the consequences? This Element considers the approach to answer these questions, while also illustrating some of the interesting theoretical and empirical work that has been done on them. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.…

HARD BACK GREEN. Etat : Good+. JACKET: GOOD DJ. General shelf wear, rubbed extremities, bumped corners, else, fine. Illustrations, sketches and pictures throughout the book by Gary Zoboly. Elaborate detail of frontiersman conquests and living in the 1700's. DEFINITIVE COMPLETE ACADEMIC BIOGRAPHY OF ROGERS.EXTENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY. Robert Rogers nimbly transcended his role as an unrivaled Ranger commander, for many his precise historical legacy remains difficult to decipher or categorize. To his contemporaries he was sometimes a baffling, strange figure who appeared to be everywhere at once, propelling himself even through civilian life like a dauntless commando. He was Daniel Boone, Benvenuto Cellini, and George S. Pattonrolled into one; an incongruous fusion of restlessness, audacity, creativity, rascality, and guts. Once, as powerful factions connived to isolate and destroy him, he described himself as "another Columbus. confined & illtreated for his services to the Country." He meant every word of it. His deeds as a warrior had made him an overnight star; after Benjamin Franklin he was the most famous American-born celebrity of the 1750s and 1760s. And, like Columbus, he had won the enviable approbation of a King and his ministers to discover the fabled short cut to China. "I consider him to have been one of the most talented men of the country-perhaps the best partizan officer this country ever produced. I believe him to have been the author of that perfect mode of attack and defence which enabled a hundred of the Rangers to do more service than thousands of the British regulars, especially in the Winter service of the old war 1756. Such safety to troops on fatigue, amid the serverest seasons of a severe climate, was never before secured. Such certainty in the results either on the advance or retreat, perhaps has never been realized by another force than the Rangers, under the perfect arrangement and discipline invented by Rogers. I consider him to have been as great a man in his peculiar sphere as Napoleon Bonaparte, and for decision and firmness equal to Andrew Jackson" -Governer Isaac Hill of New Hampshire, 1842 DEFINITIVE COMPLETE ACADEMIC BIOGRAPHY OF ROGERS.

(Ferris, Stephen J. American 1835-1915). GIRL WITH DOLLS. Etching and drypoint, 1883, by Ferris after a painting by Charles D. Weldon (American 1855-1935). 20 x 28 inches; 510 x 725 mm., plus wide margins. Signed in pencil by both Weldon and Ferris, and with a remarque in the lower margin of a woman with an umbrella. With the name of the publisher Klackner, New York, and the date 1883 printed in the margin below the image. One or two unobtrusive spots of foxing in the margin, else a very good impression of this magnificent example of reproductive etching. Weldon lived in Japan, and painted Japanese subjects; Ferris was one of the leaders of the American etching revival in the 1880s, and one of the most prominent practitioners of reproducing paintings via the medium of etching.
