Summary: Public Finance - A good Read if required for program

Comment: I found this book easy to understand and comprehend. It may take a double reading just to ensure key elements are understood. The Masters Program for which this book was required helps people to grasp the concepts used by the government to spend on domestic "improvements" or welfare programs to stimulate the economy.

Summary: Clear but not imaginative

Comment: This is an extremely clear introduction to public finance, but it isn't the sort of book that will make students love public finance. There aren't enough current examples. It doesn't focus on the debates within public finance. It is just dry facts.

Also, the book would be much better with more data. Students who take public finance would normally have had at least one semester of statistics. Why not integrate some statistics into the course. Nothing fancy. But making some numbers available and letting students do some very simple analysis would be useful for economics students.

Public Finance--while continuing to follow an innovative approach that is both theoretical and empirical--is now completely updated to reflect major changes in its key topics. New or revised information includes explanations of the Social Security trust fund, a new section on the alternative minimum tax (AMT), possible links between the corporation tax and high-profile scandals such as Enron, and more.
