This book explores the exponential growth of municipal rates and debt in the United Kingdom from 1868 to 1902, a phenomenon that raised concerns among thoughtful citizens. The author argues that this increase was not driven by an increase in population or rateable value, but rather by the expansion of municipal commercial operations, which he believes is a departure from their necessary functions and not properly within their scope of responsibilities. He presents numerous examples of municipal bodies undertaking ventures that more properly belong in the private sector, such as electric lighting, housing, and public transportation. The author believes that these activities are not core functions of local governments and that they are less efficiently and economically operated under public management compared to private enterprise. Furthermore, the author contends that this expansion of municipal commercial activities has led to increased labor disputes, as local governments are not well-equipped to manage the complex issues that arise between employers and employees. Overall, the book argues against the further expansion of municipal commercial activities and presents a compelling case for limiting local governments to their core responsibilities.
