4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking economics, June 28, 2009
This review is from: Public Sector Economics: The Role of Government in the American Economy (Paperback)
Holcombe's book is readable and good for developing clarity about how public administrators and the government generally perceives the market economy and its usefulness to society. Public Sector Economics is a good text for understanding how the market economy works in the United States, along with the corresponding needs and pitfalls. Holcombe's definitions are nicely illustrated with relevant and sometimes complex examples. It is not necessary to be versed in this genre-or even in agreement with its perspectives- to find this text helpful and enlightening. On the other hand, know that it is a graduate level study and may not be the best guide for someone with less than college level reading or minimal critical thinking skills.

1.0 out of 5 stars photocopied?, April 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Public Sector Economics: The Role of Government in the American Economy (Paperback)
the book looks like a cheap photocopy, cover is thin, picture is blurry, and the inside is cheap paper and econo black and white printing. Illegal? Who cares, the contents are crap and destined for the recycle bin no matter what its printed on.
