Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Public goods are, by their nature, desirable. Thus, anyone who would benefit from such a good can be expected to contribute to its provision. 2. Collective action theory indicates that individuals will automatically act collectively to achieve their goals whenever they share common interests (such as wanting to listen to NPR, protect environmental resources, or promote democracy). 3. Collective action theory suggests that minority groups may actually be more powerful than majority groups in some circumstances. This might explain why business lobbies are usually considered to be more effective at influencing political elites than trade unions are. 4. “Preference falsification” makes revolutions unpredictable and makes revolutions seem inevitable after they have occurred.
