Gordon Tullock on Competition - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 529
Competition/TullockVsHirschman/Tullock: Gordon Tullock, one of the most important representatives of the commencing public-choice movement, slated Albert O. Hirschman's Exit, Voice and Loyalty (Cambridge, 1970 (1)): The idea that a restriction of competition - in order to strengthen conflict - could be helpful was apparently so cross-eyed ideologically that a differentiated judgement was not possible.(2) See Behavioral Economics/Hirschman
.
Context: Hirschman investigated the effects of the strategies of consumer migration and conflict in markets and of members of political parties and thus became a precursor of public choice. See Terminology/Hirschman Political Parties/Hirschman, Competition/Hirschman.
