how can politicians survive
Zurück zu Constitutional Economics

Sorry Stefan,
one additional short question:
in the Slide set #2 on page 10 is written that Constitutional Economics deals with the question :"How constitutions can be designed so that politicians who seek to serve public interest can survive"
This is a bit surprising to me, because I thought that C.E. is mainly about determining suitable restrictions which hinder Leviathan to abuse his power.
But why worring about his ability to survive if he acts in the public interest?
Voters might appreciate his good intentions or not?
Thanks
