There is a long-standing difference among public economists between those who think that collective choice must be formally acknowledged, and those who derive their policy recommendations from a social planning framework in which politics plays no role. The purpose of this book, now available in paperback, is to contribute to a meaningful dialogue between these two groups, in the belief that the future of both political economy and of normative public finance lies somewhere between the two approaches.

This book sets forth the basic issues involved in public finance and public policy. All issues investigated explore the choice between voluntary market decision to earn and spend income versus assignment of responsibility to governments to tax and spend. The ten specific areas covered are markets and property, collective benefits, voting on public speaking, market corrections, social justice, political processes and redistribution, taxation, user pricing, public policy for welfare issues, and the question of how much government is needed in the modern state.

When first published, Gruber’s Public Finance and Public Policy brought a refreshingly contemporary approach.  It was the first text written from the ground up to reflect current realities of public finance, enhancing its survey of traditional topics with an emphasis on empirical work and coverage of transfer programs and social insurance. The new edition, fully updated with the most recent data and research possible, includes new coverage of the Medicare drug benefit, changes in the tax code, Hurricane Katrina, and the ongoing debate over privatization.
