Notes on Public Finance

Lionel Robbins

Chapter 21 in Economic Science and Political Economy, 1997, pp 331-346 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The following notes on certain very general aspects of the problems of public finance are not specifically related to the more technical details of our present budgetary position. In so far, however, as the accession to power of a new government [in May 1995] is a moment when the wider implications of policy may be legitimately conceived as due for consideration, they may perhaps be thought to have some practical relevance. That, at any rate, is their intention. I have the feeling that we are apt to take for granted certain tendencies of contemporary financial policy and to dismiss the prospect of any substantial change as impracticable. My main object is to show that this attitude is uncalled for.
