Review
'Public choice, as an economic theory of politics, emerged in mid-century because of gaps in the research agenda of public finance. Somewhat surprisingly, however, modern public choice and public finance research programs have never been fully integrated. This book admirably meets this objective. It offers a sophisticated and comprehensive treatment of questions involving when and why politics arises, how politics can be predicted to work in practice, and how limits can be placed on political excesses. A well-informed, well-written treatise useful for several levels of readership.' James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate, George Mason University
'Arye Hillman's new undergraduate text provides a strikingly rich, thoughtful, thought-provoking, and unusually comprehensive overview of academic thinking about the role of government in the economy, emphasizing the role of political institutions in shaping how governments behave, and the resulting trade-offs between private and public provision. This book has managed to capture many of the latest ideas in a way that still remains eminently accessible to undergraduate students. It is a delight to read.' Roger Gordon, University of California, San Diego
'This book provides a comprehensive and accessible discussion of the core issues in public finance and public policy. While designed as a textbook, the book is an organizing guide for practitioners and policymakers, who will find particularly useful the application of concepts to issues in income support and work incentives, education, health care, and the choice between tax financing and user prices.' Sanjeev Gupta, Chief, Policy Expenditure Division, International Monetary Fund, Washington DC
'This fascinating book provides a clear account of the role of government through public finance and public policy and gives a balanced and insightful analysis of the scope and limits of what government can or should do. The book in particular highlights the essential roles of property rights and information. Students will like the clear exposition immensely, and researchers will benefit from the book as a reference volume.' Kai A. Konrad, Social Science Research Center, Berlin and Free University of Berlin
