Opis

This text examines and compares the thought of the classical economists from the perspective of public finance rather than that of pure theory. It critically analyses the writings on government expenditure, taxation and public debt of thinkers such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, David Ricardo and Thomas Malthus. These key figures are united by their struggles with fiscal theory - an important feature in the formation and development of political economy.
