Anthony Downs is a noted scholar in public policy, and since 1977 is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C..


Downs has served as a consultant to many of the nation's largest corporations, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the White House. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the National Commission on Urban Problems in 1967, and HUD Secretary Jack Kemp appointed him to the Advisory Commission on Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing in 1989. He is officer or trustee of General Growth Properties and the NAACP Legal and Educational Defense Fund.


Downs received a Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University. He is the author or co-author of 24 books and over 500 articles. His most famous books are An Economic Theory of Democracy (1957), translated into several foreign languages, and Inside Bureaucracy (1967). Dr. Downs has also written a book The Revolution in Real Estate Finance (1985), predicting a housing slowdown and decrease in housing prices, which has yet to materialize.


Downs is noted for his humorous speeches.

Riviste - Ian Budge, Anthony Downs, maestro di molti modelli
Anthony Downs is unusual in having been active in economic and political research during the 1950s and 1960s, and then turning to real estate and urban planning for the rest of his career.
In spite of its defects the book laid down the agenda for mathematical political theory and empirical research over the last 50 years and has a fair claim to being the most influential single book written on politics in that period.
