Political Failure by Agreement : Learning Liberalism and the Welfare State, Hardcover by Wegner, Gerhard, ISBN 1847207340, ISBN-13 9781847207340, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Wegner (economics, Erfurt U., Germany) identifies what he sees as a contradiction between economic liberalism, the idea that the state should avoid interfering in the operations of markets (which is presumed here to bring about higher well-being in society), and political procedural liberalism, in that the ill-informed political preferences of citizens often may not favor liberal economic policies, yet political liberalism does not allow for the imposition of such policies. He analyzes this "political failure" from the perspective of evolutionary market theory and aims to normatively resolve this problem by allowing for citizens to review the failure of non-liberal economic policy and thereby evolve towards preference of economic liberalism.
