#Public Choice

Public choice is the grand festival of democracy where everyone proclaims their desires while shirking the burden of fulfilling them. Behind the noble guise of aggregating individual self-interest for the public good, vote trades, subsidies, and backroom deals dance wildly. Economics and politics enter a clandestine affair, holding an auction of souls at the voting booth marketplace. The theory is elegant, reality is warped by rent-seekers. In the end, all that remains is a chaos no one truly controls.
