 How To Do IT November 5, 2008
Fred Thompson (Salem, OR United States)
This is a simple, clear, practical public finance text. It describes the basic processes of taxing, borrowing (and investing public funds), and spending, carefully delineating capital budgeting and operational budgeting from cash budgeting, their purposes and functions. My students, both in our executive program and regular MBA students find it much more approachable and useful than the other public finance texts I have used, in part because it relentlessly focuses on administrative matters. The text is also sensitive to jurisdictional issues in fiscal management -- federal. state. local.
The questions at chapter ends are thought provoking and challenging without being overwhelming. I provide Excel set-ups for the problems I use, which allows students to perform a greater number of exercises in a timely manner and also for me to grade their work more easily. I'd also like to see more attention to mean variance analysis, which is one of the main integrating ideas in financial management, but otherwise I am quite pleased with this text and recommend it highly.

Almost perfect!The book is new,and reaches me on time.
I find that the question marks printed in the book are all inverted,anyway, it doesn't affect reading.

Although big (and pricey) this book contains very good illustrations and explanations of financial and budgeting concepts and principles. A must have for serious students in graduate programs.
