Introduction to the Management of Public Finance: A South African perspective is an introductory work on public financial management for undergraduate students at universities, technikons and technical colleges. It is an abstract of the same topics covered in Public Financial Management, but couched in simpler terms. Greater emphasis is placed on facts and theories than the philosophy of the subject. Each chapter can serve as an individual lecture, since it starts with a study goal and learning objectives and ends with possible examination questions.

- Why governments need money
- Nationalisation vs privatisation of particular services
- Guidelines for democratic financial management
