Effective local government is vital for the provision of infrastructure, the delivery of various public services and the consolidation of democracy in South Africa. Yet it is well known that financial management and service-delivery problems are rife in the country's local government sector. Economists have much to contribute to ongoing debates about reforms to improve the functioning of this sector and much to learn from experts in other disciplines. Written by a legal scholar with the assistance of an expert on internal audit and risk management in the public sector, Local Government Finance: A Comparative Study is a relatively short book that explores local government finance in South Africa from the perspective of the governance model (instead of specific themes such as service delivery, revenue collection and debt administration). The aim of this review is to indicate its usefulness for economists who are familiar with economic research on the South African local government sector.
