Review

The field of modern political economics needed this book. We now have an outstanding teaching tool, a splendid reference book, and a coherent treatment of the field. Persson and Tabellini have done a great service to the profession.

(Alberto Alesina, Professor of Economics, Harvard University)

Analytical models of political institutions frequently neglect the economy. Theories of economic policy making often ignore political institutions altogether. Political Economics, a bold and original enterprise, leads a new wave of more thoroughly synthetic treatments. Reading this superb book is an enriching experience.

(Kenneth A. Shepsle, Markham Professor of Government, Harvard University)

During the last decade, Persson and Tabellini have done more than advance the frontier of research in political economics; they have elevated to a new level the art of writing survey articles that simultaneously clarify, synthesize, and extend the literature. Here they have combined all these skills in an outstanding book.

(Avinash K. Dixit, Sherrard University Professor of Economics, Princeton University)
