‘All in all, this book is a must for anyone with interests in this area.’
–Vani Borooah, The Economic Journal

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.

25 articles, dating from 1967 to 1993 Contents: Part I: Introduction Part II: Classic Papers Part III: Rent Seeking in the Long Run Part IV: Refinements and Extensions of the Theory of Rent Seeking Part V: Contributions to Measurement and Application Part VI: Reform in the Rent-Seeking Society?
