Why Democracy Needs Public Goods presents a new theoretical
perspective on public goods based on a framework of political
philosophy. Angela Kallhoff responds to negative narratives on
public goods that point out their role in causing market failures,
their cost on public finance and in regulation, and their irregular
and sometimes negative effects on social interaction. She instead
provides a normative approach arguing for their role in supporting
democracies at critical points by providing the basis for a public
forum through public space and infrastructure, improving social
inclusion through public healthcare and education, and fostering a
sense of national identity. This book also features a comprehensive
description of other arguments and theoretical approaches to public
goods, as well as assessing the classical economic approach of
collective action theory and counter arguments from the so-called
libertarian camp. Kallhoff also analyzes the problems of regulatory
frameworks and the normative issues resulting from the need to
support by means of public finance. These perspectives will be most
significant to political philosophers and policymakers, though the
language used and the examples given will make Kallhoff's arguments
comprehensible to non-experts as well.
