The Microeconomics of Public Policy Analysis
"An important book. It should have a major impact in schools of policy, planning, and administration, and even in some economics departments. Friedman does a great job of applying the theory to important real-world problems." - David Howell, New School University "The Microeconomics of Public Policy Analysis will quickly become the most widely used text in graduate schools of public affairs and will be an attractive text for use in advanced undergraduate economics courses. This is one of the few books I know of that a noneconomist can skim through and end up with a reasonable understanding of the key economic concepts central to the study of policy analysis." - Samuel L. Myers, Jr., University of Minnesota
