The Foundations of Public Finance, vol Two volume set

Edited by Peter M. Jackson

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The Foundations of Public Finance presents the most important articles and papers tracing the development of public finance from the earliest tolls and customs duties levied on goods and land to more complex tax systems up to 1950. A signal contribution of this collection is that it allows the founding fathers to describe the development of different schools or doctrines in their own words. It is a fascinating story showing how economic analysis develops partly as a response to the need to gain a deeper insight into practical questions such as ‘how progressive should a tax systems be?’.
