Reviews
"Authors in this volume illustrate both the importance but also the utility of including comparative and historical quantitative analysis of financial conditions and practices in their planning and decision making… Practitioners in the field, especially at the state and local level, will find the topics in this volume relevant to their jobs and illustrative of the critical trends taking place around the country and world at large. It is a 'must' read for people trying to keep up with the public financial management field."
Milan J. Dluhy, Ph.D., University of North Carolina, Wilmington, from the Foreword
