I was excited when I read your comment, because I imagined it linked to some analysis of costs and benefits.
Gordon Tullock’s 1971 paper sounds interesting, and is thinking along the same lines that I am here, and I’m upvoting your comment for bringing it to my attention.
But, the point about the recent revolutions in Arab countries says nothing beyond that Mohamed Ghannouchi, who was to lead the Tunisian unity government, was in Ben Ali’s government. This is only about Tunisia, not about “the recent revolutions (plural) in Arab countries”; it isn’t an analysis; and it doesn’t even make sense—Mohamed Ghannouchi wasn’t a participant in the Tunisian uprising; he was a casualty of it. He was the Prime Minister before the uprising, and was forced to resign because of it.
