Description

Explore a new perspective on economic governance with Efficiency, Equality and Public Policy: With A Case for Higher Public Spending. This book by MACMILLAN challenges the standard approach to public economic policy, specifically the idea that efficiency should be the sole focus in specific policy areas while leaving equality to the tax and transfer system. The text examines how public policies can better maximize individual welfare by focusing on individual happiness rather than just preferences. It addresses how relative-income and environmental disruption effects create a bias toward private spending, a trend that may no longer support social happiness. By analyzing these economic shifts, the book presents a case for how welfare can be increased through higher public spending, such as increased investment in research and development. This work is an essential resource for those studying economics, public policy, and the social impacts of fiscal decisions.
