This book attempts to integrate the study of the various aspects of public sector economics by viewing all the government's activities as a product of the democratic decision making process. Holcombe integrated this theme into the text because he believes 1) A student's understanding of the public sector will be incomplete unless they understand the process in which democratic decision making has created the existing public sector institutions. 2) Unlike the invisible hand of the market (that is a result of human action but not of human design) the public sector of the economy is the result of human design. Thus, in a democratic government, every voter plays a part in the process.
