Public Finance and Public Policy (International Edition)

More about the book

"The enormous scale of the COVID-19 crisis has launched new debates over investment in unemployment insurance and infrastructure, rising national debt, and more. Who better than Jonathan Gruber to guide students through the particulars? In the new edition of his best-selling text, Gruber covers the fundamentals of public finance with an emphasis on responses to Covid-19, highlighting the variety of decisions that the government had to make and the controversies they engendered. Other new and expanded coverage includes political expediencies and positioning on energy policy, political polarization and policymaking, the ACA and the future of the U.S. healthcare system, Universal Basic Income, the impact of recent tax reforms on labor supply, and efforts to tax wealth."-- Publisher's website
