Features: Public Economics is one of the core courses for MPA professional teaching, as well as a basic required course for undergraduate and junior college administrative management majors. This book is divided into ten chapters, systematically and comprehensively elaborating on the basic concepts and principles of public economics, including resource allocation and government functions, public goods and public choice theory, national budget, the theory and practice of public expenditure and public revenue, income distribution and social security, public economics and national economic regulation, as well as local public economics. The book explains and analyzes the functions and roles that the government should have under a market economy system from an economic perspective. As a newly emerging discipline, public economics was introduced to China only recently. Therefore, many concepts and principles in this book are explanations and elaborations of Western scholars' views. Western scholars proposed their views on public economics based on the conditions of Western countries, and readers can judge, learn from, and digest them according to the conditions of China. This book can serve as a basic textbook for MPA courses and can also be used as a textbook for government economics courses by administrative management majors in colleges and universities.
