      abstract = {This monograph evaluates public policy responses to the  Covid-19 pandemic through a public choice lens. The book  compares two prominent, albeit mutually exclusive, theories  in social sciencespublic interest theory and public choice  theoryand explores how their predictions perform within the  framework of the Covid-19 pandemic. The chapters present  different pandemic policies alongside empirical data in  order to draw conclusions about their efficacy, and, in  turn, draw conclusions about the veracity of each theory.  By the end of the volume, the reader will be able to draw  their own conclusions about whether the pandemic policy  responses served the public interest, as public interest  theory suggests, or the personal interests of the  politicians who implemented them, as public choice theory  holds.},
