Excerpt from The Elements of Public Finance: Including the Monetary System of the United States
The present volume owes Its origin to the want the author experienced in finding a suitable text for his classes. Such treatises as were at hand proved unsuitable for one or the other of two very different reasons. Either their treatment of financial theory was too detailed, or the scope they allowed to public finance was too narrow to include certain subjects - such as our currency system - which I thought fit to discuss in a somewhat practical manual.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book begins with the premise that public finance is a study of finances dedicated to public ends, including their social, political, and economic consequences. The author traces the history of public finance from ancient Greece and Rome, through feudal times, to the present day. He argues that the current financial constitution of modern governments, with its regular taxation, public debt, and popular control over income and expenditure, is a relatively recent historical development. The book provides a theoretical framework for analyzing public expenditure, drawing from a variety of sources, including the Austrian school of economics. The author concludes that the increase in public spending is a universal phenomenon caused by a combination of factors such as democracy, nationalism, and the growing cost of government. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in public finance, economics, or political science.
