This is going to be my go-to book for teaching public finance for graduate students.

[Cody Scott · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty damn dry and repetitive (even for a textbook) but absolutely full of useful information in a well-written manner that includes a lot of real-world political examples. This is one rental textbook that is worth buying.

Wasn't too bad but I also don't want to read 60-page chapters. Break it up to manageable sections.

need to review public revenue generation? how about budget schedules? actually, its embarrassing to uncover what i, a tax paying citizen, don't already know about the system.

So far this is one of the easiest to read text books I've had. It's incredibly straightforward, enlightening and well organized.
