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. 001454633 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001454633 650_0 $$aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-$$xSocial aspects. 001454633 650_0 $$aSocial choice. 001454633 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001454633 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKaradimas, Panagiotis.$$tCOVID-19 pandemic.$$dCham : Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023$$z9783031249662$$w(OCoLC)1368269306 001454633 830_0 $$aStudies in public choice ;$$v42. 001454633 852__ $$bebk 001454633 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-24967-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001454633 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1454633$$pGLOBAL_SET 001454633 980__ $$aBIB 001454633 980__ $$aEBOOK 001454633 982__ $$aEbook 001454633 983__ $$aOnline 001454633 994__ $$a92$$bISE
