Reviews

The book is a collection of articles by eminent scholars and academics on a range of fiscal policy matters of topical interest to not only policy-makers but also common citizens. The essays are well presented and easy to read even for someone not familiar with the subject of public finance... On the whole, an eminently readable book. -- The Statesman
