The public finance branch of economics has seen a great deal of
change in prevailing attitudes regarding the role of the market and
the role of government in countries with democratic institutions
and market economies. Different functions have been added, over the
past century, and especially after World War II, to the role that
the government should play. The laissez faire ideology of the past,
that minimized the government role, was progressively abandoned
until the last two decades of the 20th century, when there was an
attempt to reduce the ambitious role that the government had
assumed, and to give a growing role back to the market. This book
explains how changes in both the market and the government have
made public finance a more challenging, interesting and at times
frustrating branch of economics. It provides a cosmopolitan
perspective and details the part that historical developments have
played in shaping modern views. The author explores the real life,
practical nature of public finance and de-emphasizes the role of
armchair theorizing by focusing on real issues that are seen from a
community rather than an individualistic perspective. The Advanced
Introduction to Public Finance offers a fresh look at the field for
students, researchers and policymakers in economics, public
administration, taxation, policy and economic history.
