1) Paperback Book The Rational Choice Controversy: Economic Models of Politics Reconsidered by Yale University Press. This is one of those books that is of interest only to a small, small percentage of people who are not just trying to USE rational choice for an end, but fairly interested in it as an intellectual device. As the review above indicates, it is a rejoinder to Green and Shapiro´s work, and a capable one at that. ...

As one might imagine, this is not a book for pleasure reading so much as a group of scholars commenting on the minutia of an argument that only affected .01% of the US population. For more general reading on public choice, check out Muller´s Public Choice II or Perspectives on Public Choice.¤

2) Paperback Book The Rational Choice Controversy: Economic Models of Politics Reconsidered by Yale University Press. Pathologies of Rational Choice Theory, a book written by Donald Green and Ian Shapiro and published in 1994, excited much controversy among political scientists and promoted a dialogue that was printed in a double issue of the journal Critical Review in 1995. This new book reproduces thirteen essays from that journal written by senior scholars in the field, along with an introduction by the editor of the journal, Jeffrey Friedman, and a rejoinder to the essays by Green and Shapiro. The scholars - who include John Ferejohn, Morris P. Fiorina, Stanley Kelley, Jr., Robert E. Lane, Peter C. Ordeshook, Norman Schofield, and Kenneth A. Shepsle - criticize, agree with, or build on Green and Shapiro´s critique. Together the essays provide an interesting and accessible way of focusing on completing approaches to the study of politics and the social sciences.¤
