Really fun plenary session at Public Choice today! Here are my slides. dropbox.com/scl/fi/y0ywrjr…

Thanks to Lynne Kiesling-Knowledge Problem and Edward J. Lopez for inviting me to give the opening plenary at this year’s Public Choice conference. It was a lot of fun and provided me the opportunity to introduce Historical Political Economy to a new group of scholars.
