The book explores the emerging field of constitutional economics, which examines the intersection of constitutional law and economic analysis in relation to the development of economies and the protection of citizens' constitutional rights and freedoms. Originating in the United States in the late 20th century, constitutional economics gained recognition in 1986 when its founder, economist James Buchanan, was awarded the Nobel Prize.
The Russian school of constitutional economics has also made significant contributions to the field, led by prominent figures such as Vladimir Mau, the rector of the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation, Oleg Kutafin, the rector of the Moscow State Law Academy, and Gadis Gadzhiev, a judge of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.
