Gordon Tullock Deserved the Nobel Prize

Tullock saw himself in the tradition of Mises - a praxeologist who from a methodologically individualistic perspective would study human action across all social arrangements. Individuals pursue purposes and plans, and in doing so must arrange their means to obtain their ends as efficaciously as is in their power. Tullock's subject matter was humanity in all settings, and that included not just markets, but nonmarket settings such as law, politics, and charity.
