Remarks on Paul Dragos Aligica’s Public entrepreneurship, citizenship and self-governance

Public Entrepreneurship, Citizenship and Self-Governance (PECS), is the latest installment of Aligica Aligica’s ongoing effort to clarify and extend the ideas and inquiries of the Bloomington School of Political Economy (e.g., Aligica and Boettke 2009; Aligica 2014). It is a remarkable book. I say that even though there are many points on which Aligica and I disagree, or at least points at which we draw quite divergent inferences from common observations. In these remarks I aim both to underscore points at which Aligica and I agree and to provoke future critical exchanges.
