Public Budgeting and Financial Management provides an accessible, applied introduction and overview of public budgeting for students who may not have previous experience with economics or statistics. This new textbook contains several outstanding features:

• A focus on all levels of government—federal, state, and local
• An approach that assumes no previous knowledge of economics, statistics, or mathematics
• Applied exercises in each chapter using current, real‑world scenarios
• A conversational, engaging, jargon‑free writing style.

Authors Nancy Hudspeth and Andrew Crosby examine important case studies, including the lingering financial effects of COVID‑19 on communities across the United States and the ways in which Detroit’s bankruptcy more than a decade ago continues to impact local, regional, and state finances. This book is accompanied by online instructor and student resources, including sample municipal budgets for students and quizzes with an answer key for instructors. More advanced readers will benefit from the authors’ thorough introduction to financial functions. This comprehensive and innovative new textbook will be required reading for all undergraduate and graduate courses in public budgeting and financial management, and it offers a unique one‑stop shop for traditional one‑semester budgeting courses in Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs.
