"The Committee on Public Finance," a collaborative writing group consisting of sixty-six professors teaching at colleges and universities, have produced the latest in the long series of text books in public finance. Pooling their scholarship and teaching experience they have sought to meet the wants and needs of public finance instructors for a broad and comprehensive text "implicating the larger problems of freedom, justice, and the nature of individual and social well-being." The strong points of the book are its scope and organization which seek to fit the various phases of public finance into a single and unified process. The Committee deserves congratulations for its efforts to show the process of financing governments as one which involves economics, accounting, political science, administration, law, history, and sociology. The new text should help students to appreciate the complex and growing place of public finance in modern society, and instill a greater concern for the orderly administration of the public sector of the economy. It can make no greater contribution.
