Anthony Downs (born November 21, 1930, Evanston, Illinois) is a scholar in public policy and public administration, and since 1977 is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C..
Downs has served as a consultant to many of the nation's largest corporations and public institutions, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the White House. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the National Commission on Urban Problems in 1967, and HUD Secretary Jack Kemp appointed him to the Advisory Commission on Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing in 1989. He is officer or trustee of General Growth Properties and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
He is the author or co-author of 24 books and over 500 articles. His most influential books are An Economic Theory of Democracy (1957) and Inside Bureaucracy (1967); widely translated, both are credited as major influences on the public choice school of political economy. Later, Downs concerned himself with housing policy, writing about rent control and housing affordability.
This book seeks to elucidate its subject - the governing of democratic state - by making intelligible the party politics of democracies. Downs treats this differently than do other students of politics. His explanations are systematically related to, and deductible from, precisely stated assumptions about the motivations that attend the decisions of voters and parties and the environment in which they act. He is consciously concerned with the economy in explanation, that is, with attempting to account for phenomena in terms of a very limited number of facts and postulates. He is concerned also with the central features of party politics in any democratic state, not with that in the United State or any other single country.

評分談起“經濟學帝國主義”,通常會把加裏•貝剋爾當做開端,其實早在1957年,諾奬得主阿羅的博士生安東尼•唐斯的博士論文就最先開創瞭經濟學理性和均衡分析對政治學的應用,這篇影響力巨大的論文後來齣版成書,這就是《民主的經濟理論》。也使得唐斯成為與奧爾森齊名的對政...

評分1957年的書 牛逼大瞭
評分隻讀瞭The Basic Logic of Voting這一章;總覺得有太過簡化事實的傾嚮
評分以1957年的標準來看,不能更贊
