Summary: A political economist's insightful way of looking at issues.
Comment: A very interesting book. I read it when it first came out, and I still refer back to it from time to time. Schelling takes a look at a myriad of social issues from taxation policy to the cost/benefit analysis of new airport lights for a small community and always makes the reader think. He has a great way of turning situations around so that one can see both sides of an argument and then make informed, and sometimes, rational decisions. A good book on public policy which can turn a liberal into a conservative and vice versa!
