View source for Public Goods and Market Failures: A Critical Examination

'''Public Goods and Market Failures: A Critical Examination''' is a 1988 book by [[Tyler Cowen]]. 

Assertions of market failure are usually based on Paul Samuelson's theory of [[public goods]] and [[externalities]]. This book both develops that theory and challenges the conclusion of many economists and policy-makers that [[market failure]]s cannot be corrected by market forces. The volume includes major case studies of private provision of public goods. Among the goods considered are lighthouse services, education, municipal services, and environmental conservation.
