Why do politicians make decisions that seem short-sighted or self-serving? This video by Professor Hellstrom introduces Rational Choice Theory at the micro level, explaining how incentives, rather than idealism or the public good, drive political decision-making. Using examples like David Cameron's decision to call the 2016 Brexit referendum, the video illustrates how the theory predicts choices that maximize personal benefits for politicians. The video also delves into Milton Friedman's Four Ways to Spend Money, highlighting why inefficiencies occur in government and business spending. While acknowledging the theory's critics, who argue it overlooks altruism and institutional safeguards, the video underscores the theory's profound impact on political science and popular culture, as evidenced by the classic sitcoms 'Yes Minister' and 'Yes Prime Minister.'
