Welcome to Alvin Rabushka's web page. The object of my page is to provide readers with access to e-books and e-articles that reflect my current research, along with out-of-print publications that have been digitized because they remain relevant to current public policy issues. Readers are encouraged to download and print copies of material they wish to use for academic, public policy, and journalistic purposes. I ask that proper citation is given if any of this material is used in research and writing.

My web site includes the following.

Books and articles on the Russian economy. These are also posted on my Russian Economy web site (with Michael S. Bernstam). New comments and articles and chapters in a living e-book are constantly being added, so please check back on a regular basis.

The Flat Tax (with Robert E. Hall). The book can be purchased from the Hoover Press if desired.

An out-of-print book co-authored with Kenneth A. Shepsle, Politics in Plural Societies: A Theory of Democratic Instability (Columbus, Ohio: Charles E. Merrill, 1972). Since we hold the copyright to the book, we authorize you to print copies as required for your intellectual purposes.

Articles and essays on the economy of The Bahamas. During 1995-1997, I served as an adviser to the Securities Market Task Force (SMTF). The SMTF, a group of private sector professionals from the financial sector, was established to advise the government on legislation for the establishment of a securities market. The Bahamas International Stock Exchange (BISX) opened for business in 1999. I continue to maintain an active interest in the Bahamian economy.

Other articles and essays that are not readily available in standard scholarly or journalistic publications.

The "What's New" item on the navigation bar will identify newly posted material.

The "Links" item on the navigation bar will take you to sites of special interest to me. The most important is the web site of my musician/author/entrepreneur daughter, Nyree.
