Public Choice Theory - Relative Deprivation Theory - Nicklas Nickel

In this book, Nicklas Nickel reviews mainstream economics' approach to the study of "politics," focusing on the most important studies of the "Public Choice Theory".
As you will see after reading the book, economics-politics entanglement (entangled political economy) was dissociated from the jumping-off places of formation of political economy in the 18th century.
This dissociation was of fundamental importance, especially to neoclassical economists. Accordingly, by virtue of that, conventional economics later examined "economics" as becoming increasingly separate from politics.
By sticking to this path, the "Public Choice Theory" has endeavored to apply the methodology and ontology of this science to the study of politics and social developments.
This book begins with the issues confronting the Public Choice Theory and then scrutinizes the contributions of each, in the first place, and their different intellectual and political traditions, in the second place, according to the Public Choice Theorists.


"Relative Deprivation" refers to being deprived of what one believes one is entitled to. When compared to others, it is primarily aimed at dissatisfied people who discover that they have less than they deserve.
The concept of social comparisons underpins "Relative Deprivation Theory."
What people infer from their situation and circumstances determines relative deprivation. Individuals' social comparisons are strongly linked to this inference.
Thus, Relative Deprivation refers to a feeling of mental dissatisfaction caused by differences in people's mental images of ideal situations and their ability to achieve them.
Imagine comparing oneself to someone else. In this case, observing a difference in one's own level of deprivation versus that of the other causes contradictory subjective sensations when assessing another situation. Comparing oneself to a deprived person, on the other hand, is referred to as relative deprivation.
