Description

This law school casebook approaches its subject from a public law perspective. The key question is whether the executive, the legislature, or the judiciary should make a given decision, or perhaps whether the good or service at issue should be provided by government at all. In order to explore this question, the authors go beyond case law to integrate learning from other disciplines, ranging from public finance to political philosophy.
