Harvey Rosen’s scholarly and up-to-date Public Finance continues
to be the market-leading book. The book takes its readers
to the frontiers of current research, yet remains accessible to
undergraduates. Although it draws upon the latest research, the
book never loses sight of the reality it is supposed to describe,
always drawing the links between economic analysis and current
political issues.
