Tullock on being an economist; the central theme is that what society most needs from economists is instruction and enlightenment in the basics of the discipline.

Co-author: Curb Rights: A Foundation for Free Enterprise in Urban Transit (with A. Moore and B. Reja). Washington, DC: Brookings Institution, Washington D. C., 1997. The book argues that curb zones and bus stops are a crucial component of transit services. Many problems of urban transit can be traced to the commons problem existing at the curb. Privatizing curb zones in five-year leases would create a foundation for free enterprise in urban transit. The book won a 1998 Sir Antony Fisher International Memorial Award from the Atlas Foundation. It has been reviewed in JEL, EJ, SEJ, Trans. Res., JAPA, Regulation, and elsewhere.
