Gambling in America: Costs and Benefits Book

Gambling in America explains why the public decision making process governing the issue of casino gambling tends to lead to wrong outcomes and why the studies typically provided to justify the phenomenon are conceptually flawed.

Accounting for a wide range of economic and social factors, Earl Grinols concludes that the social costs of casino gambling considerably outweigh their social benefits.
