The Calculus of Consent’s aim was to construct a theory of politics from the foundations of individual rational choice. The Authors’ intention was to fill the gap in social science reflected in the continuing failure to analyze collective action through an individual choice perspective. The research program now called ‘constitutional economics’ was a natural outgrowth of the precautionary analytics of the early efforts.
