Probably the best book that can help anyone understand (or explain to others) government financing. Anyone who is a part of the "Tea Party" or considering it MUST read this and open their eyes; public budgeting isn't as simple as "smaller government, less taxes!" because of numerous intricate and irreducible factors that cannot be simplified down to a misspelled protest sign. Multiplier effects, production possibility frontiers, etcetera.

Recommends it for:
folks interested in an introduction to economics from the perspective of government
I owe the vast majority of my facility with economics to Rosen. This text is an invaluable introduction to economics at the governmental level, with plenty of references to relatively current real-life situations. Even if you don't like economics, but are interested in how government works and how to make it work better, this is a great book for you.
A must read for every student of economics!
Computers are fun to type on.
Good book but very basic.
