Quando suas idéias são mais importantes

"William Niskanen, director of economics for Ford Company being compelled to resign because he was not willing to sign a statement saying that a high tariff on the import of foreign cars was for the benefit of the American people, is representative of the kind of problem we actually face". [Gordon Tullock, Accidental Freedom, Working paper, UCLA, July/1989]

Se isso é verdade, então eis aí um paradoxo econômico (ou uma boa versão de Economia Política Constitucional). Thanks, Buchanan!
