“…21 State and Local Tax Problems was published as a festschrift for Charles White, one of the early Tennesseebased influences on Buchanan discussed by Marciano (2019). 22 Similarities between Calhoun's social scientific thought and modern public choice theory have been emphasized for decades by Downs (1957), Rae (1975), Tullock (1975, Aranson (1991), Tabarrok and Cowen (1992), Kreider (2012), Salter (2015), MacLean (2017), Jankovic (2018), andCooper (2021). Ordeshook (1992) more specifically draws parallels between the work of Calhoun and the public choice theorist William Riker.…”

James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock took a keen interest in the United States Supreme Court’s reapportionment decisions of the 1960s, which established a “one person, one vote” standard for state legislative apportionment. This paper traces the long arc of Buchanan and Tullock’s opposition to the “one person, one vote” standard. The Calculus of Consent offers a highly qualified efficiency argument against “one person, one vote,” but over time Buchanan and Tullock grew even more vocally critical of the decisions. Buchanan ultimately advocated a constitutional amendment overturning “one person, one vote” in a private set of recommendations to Congressional Republicans. This paper additionally assesses Tullock’s 1987 complaint that scholars and judges neglected The Calculus of Consent’s analysis of reapportionment. A review of the reapportionment literature between 1962 and 1987 demonstrates that while The Calculus of Consent was frequently cited, the literature generally ignored its analysis of the efficiency of apportionment standards.

“…Penelitian ini memberikan kritik pada masalah pemikiran awal libertarian awal yang sangata kuat dengan corak antroposentrisme dimana manusia diberikan kekuasaan sekaligus hak penuh dalam memaksimalkan potensinya (Wertkin & Larsen, 1997) sehingga memberikan dampak pada ditampiknya kepentingan alam yang hanya dianggap objek. Terlebih lagi pemikiran libertarian ternyata memiliki cacat secara hirarki karena yang disebut manusia secara praktik adalah kulit putih dan berakibat pada penindasan (MacKay, 2010) dan menyulut revolusi demi tibanya kesetaraan yang dulunya justru mereka idamkan ketika lepas dari Inggris (Jankovic, 2018;Leacock, 2010;Reid, 1988). Penolakan tersebut membuka pemikiran awal bahwa konsep libertarian harusnya mampu dimaksimalkan dimana hak diperluas pada ragam penindasan seperti perbudakan dan juga alam (Lawler, 1997).…”

Henry David Thoreau merupakan pemikir politik dan lingkungan Amerika yang menggaungkan cara bepikir transendentalisme dalam perjuangannya. Transendentalisme berupaya menghilangkan relasi subjek-objek dalam praktik sosial yang secara tidak langsung tengah mengkoptasi pemikiran Amerika kala itu sehingga melahirkan peperangan, perbudakan dan juga perusakan alam. Tulisan ini lalu ingin memulihkan corak pemikiran transendentalis Asia khususnya Baghavad Gita yang samar samar juga turut membantu membentuk tradisi Amerika. Pemikiran revolusioner demi menolak penindasan justru terlahir melalui gaya transendentalis yang secara metodis menghilangkan relasi subjek dan objek yang tengah populer kala itu. Hilangnya relasi subjek objek secara metodis menghadirkan perspektif bahwa manusia bukanlah subjek untuk memanipulasi alam sebagai objek, menghilangkan hirarki sosial seperti perbudakan karena manusia lain tidak boleh direndahkan karena dianggap objek, dan pemerintahan tidak boleh membungkam warga negara minoritas yang tidak masuk dalam hitungan mayoritas. Meminjam tradisi Foucauldian, tulisan ini secara metodologi pun hendak melacak pemikiran Thoreau yang masih memiliki nuansa Asia. Pelacakan jejak Asia di dalam tradisi pemikiran Thoreau ingin memberikan alternatif bahwa peperangan, perbudakan dan penaklukan adalah pengkhianatan pada cita-cita pembebasan. Henry David Thoreau is an American political and environmental thinker who echoed the transcendentalist way of thinking in his struggle. Transcendentalism seeks to eliminate subject-object relations in social practices that indirectly co-opted American thinking at the time, resulting in wars, slavery and the destruction of nature. His revolutionary thinking about transcendentalism was actually born through his consumption of eastern discourse, especially Hindhuism with its Bagavad Geeta. The disappearance of subject-object relations presents the perspective that humans are not subjects to manipulate nature as an object, eliminate social hierarchies such as slavery because other humans should not be humiliated because they are considered objects, and the government should not silence minority citizens who are not included in the majority count. This paper methodologically retraces all the Asian thought that anchors Thoreau's thought archaeologically, which seems to have been marginalised in the western tradition. The tracing of Asian views in the tradition of Thoreau's thought wants to provide an alternative that war, slavery and conquest are a betrayal of the ideals of freedom.
