A New Principle of Just Taxation

Knut Wicksell

A chapter in Classics in the Theory of Public Finance, 1958, pp 72-118 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I have intentionally given this essay a somewhat challenging title and, from the outset, I have taken up a rather heterodox position in opposition to the traditional doctrines. However, the essay contains not so much a new principle of just taxation, than a method to ensure that such measure of justice as can be attained is in fact achieved in practice.
