Public sector economics : the role of government in the American economy - HOLCOMBE (New Jersey : Pearson/Prentice Hall, 2006)
Public policy is not only what economists deem optimal and encourage policy makers to employ...but the product of a democratic decision-making process. Randall Holcombe wrote this text to give students a much more realistic view of the actual role of govrenment, and realistic assessment of the problems government can and cannot solve.
