Economics of Urban Problems: An Introduction presents a rigorous yet accessible examination of the economic forces shaping urban environments, tackling issues such as poverty, housing, transportation, crime, education, and fiscal policy within metropolitan areas. Written by Arthur Schreiber, Richard Gatons, and Richard Clemmer, this collaborative text instructs students and general readers alike in the analytical tools needed to understand why cities struggle and what economic levers might address those struggles.\n\nThe authors argue with clarity and conviction that urban dysfunction is not accidental but rooted in identifiable market failures, public policy shortcomings, and systemic inequalities — forces that economics is uniquely positioned to illuminate. Grounded in mainstream economic methodology while remaining sensitive to social context, the book illustrates how concepts such as externalities, public goods, and income distribution apply directly to urban life. A foundational text for courses in urban economics and public policy, it leaves readers asking a question as urgent today as ever: can the tools of economic analysis truly solve the crisis of the modern city?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203213893851,"sku":"2026200015458-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6cab3bef-b22b-446c-94e2-9f635b2a1144.png?v=1788145949","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015458-secondhand-economics-of-urban-problems-an-introduction","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
