Dick Netzer, a prominent urban economist and public finance scholar, dissects the systemic failures driving urban decay — from inadequate housing and failing public schools to dysfunctional transportation networks and chronic fiscal imbalances — mapping both the root causes and the policy interventions required to address them.\n\nNetzer argues with clarity and conviction that urban dysfunction is not an inevitability but the consequence of identifiable economic misalignments and policy shortcomings that can, with the right instruments, be corrected. His analytical style is both accessible and authoritative, grounding complex economic principles in the lived realities of urban America without sacrificing intellectual rigour. A foundational text for students of urban policy, economics, and public administration, this work remains a compelling provocation: if the diagnoses are this clear, why have the prescriptions proven so difficult to fill?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203184599259,"sku":"2026200015026-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb32ad17-5004-4496-879f-334eaff7e04d.png?v=1788145127","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015026-secondhand-economics-and-urban-problems-diagnoses-and-prescriptions","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
