Economics of the Public Sector

This book by Stiglitz offers a not-so technical introduction into Public Economics, and I would say it is on undergraduate level. There is very little mathematics involved, for an economics book, as his aim is to build up an intuitive recognition of the concepts. For international learners there is an obvious drawback in that the case-studies are all based on the US economy. But with a topic like this, I think writing a general book would be quite difficult, I haven't really come across one that is. For me this book was effective, I used this book more than my designated textbook.

Although I deeply respect J. Stiglitz, I prefer H. Rosen`s Public Finance. I found it more effective to learn this subject due to the deeper treatment of the models and theories. The only aspect I would recommend it for is because it has Stiglitz wider view of the global tendencies intrinsically in some ways.

All I've to say is that is an excelent book is very useful in careers like economy is very intuitive and easy to understand
