Praise for this book
Original Review of The Finance of Local Government:
'First, it is remarkably comprehensive...secondly, it is extremely clear. The straightforward, unpretentious prose style and the logical organisation of the material make it an easy book to read and understand. Given the complexity of the subject matter this is no small achievement.' D.E. Regan, Urban Studies Vol 15, No. 1 (1978).
