Abstract

Textbooks or scholarly books on the Czech social sciences can be produced as a compilation of classics, or we can anticipate an alternative enriched by the authors' own research. However, such a fundamental advance in public economics does not exist. Perhaps this is why older books are still used as textbooks in public economics classes. These include not only theory, but also examples from political economy practice. These examples become obsolete over time, and it is for this reason that public economics has deserved a new coat of paint for several years.
