Public Choice and Public Policy: A Tribute to James Bucbanan

It is with great humility that I participate in the Southern Economic Association (SEA)
tribute to the life and work of James M. Buchanan. The SEA occupied a special place in the life
of Jim Buchanan, and it feels particularly appropriate that the organization should choose to
honor him with this session. Jim never forgot nor failed to appreciate his southern roots in
middle Tennessee. Indeed, those roots defined him just as his training under Frank Knight
defined him. Jim forever carried with him a pro-southern, common-man bias. He thought
himself fortunate to have grown up in a small, southern community where you went to
elementary school with the future mayor and doctor of the town, but you also went to school
with the future farmer, the gas attendant, and the person who would grow up to be the janitor
of the school. And in that era, it was more obvious to folks than it is today in our
socioeconomically stratified communities and schools that good fortune and luck play a
significant role in which of those paths you find yourself walking. With his roots in the South,
Jim knew that the farmer who plows has something to teach those of us who choose the easier
life of the professoriate (Buchanan 1992). The "common" person was as deserving of our
conversations and our respect as the Nobel laureate peers with whom Jim found himself later in
life. This respect for all individuals across all walks of life was an admirable part of the
character of the man, James M. Buchanan.
