Public Finance economist Richard Musgrave died Jan 15 at the age of 96.Read the press release from Harvard University here.
Other than the textbook he wrote decades ago, which I had read as an undergraduate student and the content of which I have forgotten long ago, the excitment I got when I read this book while at graduate school is still with me till this day.
David Warsh on Musgrave; and here you can hear a debate between Jim Buchanan and Musgrave on public finance and public choice.
