Although coercion is a fundamental and unavoidable part of our
social lives, economists have not offered an integrated analysis of
its role in the public economy. The essays in this book focus on
coercion arising from the operation of the fiscal system, a major
part of the public sector. Collective choices on fiscal matters
emerge from and have all the essential characteristics of social
interaction, including the necessity to force unwanted actions on
some citizens. This was recognized in an older tradition in public
finance which can still serve as a starting point for modern work.
The contributors to the volume recognize this tradition, but add to
it by using contemporary frameworks to study a set of related
issues concerning fiscal coercion and economic welfare. These
issues range from the compatibility of an open access society with
the original Wicksellian vision to the productivity of coercion in
experimental games.
