Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in economics, public finance, public administration, and related fields, as a core textbook or supplementary reading.
- Policy researchers and practitioners in government departments such as finance, taxation, and development and reform who wish to deepen their theoretical understanding.
- Social science enthusiasts with some economics background and a strong interest in government behavior, public policy, and social welfare issues.
- Candidates preparing for graduate entrance exams in related fields or civil service exams who need systematic review of public economics knowledge.
Not a good fit for
- Readers seeking light entertainment or pure storytelling; this is an academic work with a strong theoretical orientation.
- Complete beginners without basic microeconomics concepts, who may find some models and analyses in the book challenging.
Reading tips
- Reading in chapter order is recommended; the first three chapters establish the theoretical foundation and are particularly essential—do not skip them.
- While reading, use the discussion questions at the end of each chapter to try applying theory to current hot public policy issues, such as tax and fee reductions and local government debt.
- The book can be read alongside the author's academic papers or relevant Chinese fiscal policy white papers for a more dynamic perspective.
