‘Foldvary’s book provides an interesting and exciting contribution to ongoing discussions on deregulation, privatization, and constitutions, taking place not only in the United States but in European countries and especially within the European Union as well. Readers interested in these topics will find the book of great interest.’
– Olivier Binet, Kyklos

‘Foldvary has written an admirably substantive work. It conveys much fresh and enthusiastic thinking, and it reports solid research on specific projects. His work stands in admirable contrast with several “Austrian” writings that paw away, abstractly and ineffectually, at the very concepts of public goods and market failure and even of externalities.’
– Leland B. Yeager, Auburn University, Alabama, US

Do public goods and services, such as streets, parks and dams have to be provided by government? In Public Goods and Private Communities, Fred Foldvary’s innovative application of public choice and spatial theory to questions of urban economics and governance shows how collective goods can be provided by agents in a market process.
