		+
		+	==Career==
		+	Buchanan graduated from [[Middle Tennessee State University\|Middle Tennessee Normal School]] in 1940. He completed his M.S. from the [[University of Tennessee]] in 1941 and his Ph.D. from the [[University of Chicago]] in 1948.
		+
		+	Buchanan has long been a professor at [[George Mason University]], and is a central figure in the [[Virginia school of political economy]]. Buchanan also held teaching positions at the [[University of Virginia]] (founding the Thomas Jefferson center), [[UCLA]], [[Florida State University]], the [[University of Tennessee]], and the [[Virginia Polytechnic Institute]] (with the [[Center for the Study of Public Choice]]). Buchanan moved with the center to its new home at GMU.
		+
		+	==Neoliberal ideologue==
		+
		+	==Views==
		+	In an interview for the BBC series 'The Trap', Buchanan criticised the notion of the "[[public interest]]", asking what it is and suggesting that it consists purely of the self-interest of the governing bureaucrats. Buchanan also proposes that organisations should employ managers who are motivated only by money. He describes those who are motivated by other factors—such as job satisfaction or a sense of public duty—as "zealots".<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/tv/wk11/unplaced.shtml#unplaced_trap The Trap: What Happened To Our Dream Of Freedom?] BBC Press Office, accessed2007-03-11</ref>
