Dogmatic,
By "vailskiboy" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Economic Development: Private and Public Choice (Hardcover)
I read this text while a student in a class taught by Mr. Poulson at The University of Colorado six years ago. I recently picked up the book again for some insight into some research I am currently doing. Mr. Poulson's writing is mired in dogmatic storytelling. I guess as a naive 21 year old undergraduate I was unable to realize the extent to which the writing lacks substantive evidence. In short, this is a volume filled with the sheltered right-wing fantasies of someone who never steps outside of Boulder County Colorado. Given the numerous alternatives available to students in this field, I would highly recommend this text be skipped entirely.

Excellent book on development,
By A Customer
This review is from: Economic Development: Private and Public Choice (Hardcover)
I found this book to be excellent for those with an introductory knowledge of economics. A little dogmatic, but the right speed for one who is starting out in the subject. Poulson is an excellent lecturer and his book supplements his development course nicely.
