Past Film Update: Economist Gordon Tullock's Ideas on Political Corruption Explained



Ironweed's Volume No. 35 from October 2008 contains a short film entitled LONG DIVISION: The Next Big Threat to Democracy.

The film focuses on famed economist Gordon Tullock, a scholar who abstains from voting because he considers his vote to be statistically insignificant.
Now, a new article in 2009 from NorthJersey.com explains some of Tullock's economic priciples, including why the actions of crooked politicians like disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich are so harmful to the rest of us.
