Monopoly Politics

Jim Miller details how political markets function in a way that makes it inherently difficult for them to perform as well as commerical markets. He exposes advantages incumbents erect to ward off challengers and reveals how most reform proposals increase these advantages. Drawing on his own experience in politics, he outlines ways to broaden opportunities for challengers and make the political marketplace more competitive and responsive to the voters.

Zusammenfassung

Shows that victims of monopoly power in politics pay higher prices and get less in return. The author details how political markets resist being organised competitively and thus not performing as well as commercial markets, and explains how this lack of competition is caused by political incumbents rigging political markets to protect themselves.
