The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies

The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies by Bryan Caplan

A libertarian view about why voting doesn’t really matter and why there is not point to vote rationally. The book provides and excellent discussion about what the American population thinks to be the truth, compared to the numbers. With the election coming up it was an interesting read, though it may depress you about how intelligent (or not intelligent) Americans are.
