"1.1 Introduction Taken separately, the contributions of the best-known principals of the early Virginia School of Political Economy - James Buchanan, Gordon Tullock, and Ronald Coase - are monuments of twentieth century economics. Yet despite their longstanding collaborations, significant differences characterize the research programs of Buchanan, Tullock, and Coase. Other prominent members of the early Virginia School, especially Rutledge Vining and Warren Nutter, add even more variation to the so-called School, so much so that one wonders if they are properly characterized as a "School."
