The policy analysis in most of this

The policy analysis in most of this book assumes a benign government intent
on maximizing social welfare. Similarly, in this chapter, we have discussed
the assumption that in both direct democracy and representative democracy,
politicians will ultimately strive to represent the will of the people. Starting
in the 1950s, however, a school of thought known as public choice theory
began to question this assumption. Begun by James Buchanan and Gordon
Tullock (the former of whom won the 1986 Nobel Prize), public choice
theorists noted that governments often do not behave in an ideal manner,
so that the traditional assumption of a benevolent government maximizing
social welfare may not be appropriate.28 In this section, we review some of the
important sources of government failure, the inability or unwillingness of
the government to act primarily in the interest of its citizens
