Product Description

Public Finance 8/e benefits from the combined efforts of Harvey Rosen’s market-leading book and new co-author Ted Gayer’s research and government agency experience. Ted recently served as a Senior Economist on the President’s Council of Economic Advisors and is currently a member of the EPA’s Science Advisory Board. Additionally, Rosen served on the President’s Council of Economics Advisers, 2003-2005, as a member and chairman. As a result, the 8th edition maintains the strengths of previous editions but is enhanced with new material and current examples from public finance literature and the policy world. It includes substantive changes that reflect the progress that has been made in the field of public finance. These changes may be divided into three categories: new organization, new material, and new pedagogical features. As with previous editions, the book continues to draw upon the latest research while never losing sight of the reality it is supposed to describe, always drawing the links between economic analysis and current political issues.

Save Money and Buy The Old Edition
The differences between this edition and the 7th edition are grossly overstated. The principles and concepts remain the same with minor changes apparent. Indeed, the author does not provide any examples of 'new and improved' changes. Readers will pay a overwhelming premium for nothing more than a slicker format and "co-author" englossed beneath the title.
Here's the link to the older (and better) edition: Public Finance

Great
The book was just as described. It was in good condition. It was packaged well and it reached me on time. There is nothing more I could have asked for.

Good book ^__^
I got this book and it was labeled as like new but it looked brand new to me. The content is very understandable.
