Description

This Macmillan economics book presents a comprehensive argument for prioritising efficiency in public economic policy whilst achieving equality through the general tax and transfer system. The author contends that public policies should ultimately maximise the sum of individual welfares, measured as individual happiness rather than preferences. By addressing how relative-income and environmental disruption effects create a systematic bias towards private spending, the book demonstrates why this approach is no longer conducive to social happiness. The work advocates for higher public spending on research and development as a means to increase overall welfare, offering a fresh perspective on balancing efficiency and equality within modern public policy frameworks.

Key Features

Macmillan publishes this economics text that argues for efficiency-focused public economic policy paired with equality achieved through tax and transfer systems.

The book prioritises individual happiness as the measure of welfare rather than consumer preferences, reshaping how public spending is evaluated.

This economics work identifies how relative-income and environmental effects bias societies towards private spending at the expense of social welfare.

The text makes the case for higher public spending on research as a proven mechanism to increase overall societal welfare and happiness.
