This is the long awaited book on Market Failures. The cover page illustration of the hard copy is by Lina Stamer and is an image 
that I use when I present the popular training session on how to address market failure in a practical way.
The book is available for free as a E-book, or a paperback edition can be ordered here. More books are available on the Mesopartner online bookstore.
The official description of this publication is:
Many development practitioners are familiar with the phrase “market failure”. However, not many people relate to the topic in a practical sense. Many remember boring lectures in universities where market failures were presented as abstract theoretical concepts in economics 101. In this book, Dr. Shawn Cunningham takes a perspective that the clues to begin to address market failures are in the world around us. He argues that the characteristics attributed to each market failure by clever scholars actually provide some clues to development practitioners about ways in which to address the imperfections that hinders market based transactions. Shawn also argues that market failures cannot be addressed by business management principles, and that typical market research instruments will provide little information on how to make a market system where there is demand, supply and supporting institutions work better
