Generally speaking, the writers of these volumes be lieve themselves to be orthodox members of the Cam bridge School of Economics. At any rate, most of their ideas about the subject, and even their prejudices, are traceable to the contact they have enjoyed with the writings and lectures of the two economists Who have chiefly influenced Cambridge thought for the past fifty years, Dr. Marshall and Professor Pigou.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Public Finance I. Public Finance Has Distinguishing Characteristics. - Man is by nature a social being, and consequently seeks the association of his fellow creatures. As this association develops and becomes more complex, the need for establishing and enforcing certain regulations appears, and governments are inaugurated to safeguard property and insure the orderly conduct of the com munity. The extent of governmental activities depends largely Upon the degree of advancement in civilization. Among the primitive and backward peoples, the functions of governments are few and ill defined; whereas in highly civilized states they are numerous and, although often Very complex, they are, nevertheless, well defined. The march of progress in the development of government is from the Simple to the complex, and the more complex the organization the more numerous and difficult are the problems which present themselves. The members of an advanced social group frequently fail to comprehend the extent to which they are indebted to their government for the services which it renders them. The Constitution of the United States, for ex ample, guarantees to the citizen the protection of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness; yet he often forgets that this guarantee entails the maintenance of armies and navies, of legislatures and judicial systems.

Download or read book National Finance and Public Money written by J. M. Horner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Finance and Public Money: Settling the Money Question, Government Ownership of Railroads and Telegraphs Within these pages may be found a financial machine owned by the people and by it they will produce, own and loan public money, basing it upon Government and State bonds, gold and silver bullion and real estate. The material of this money is gold, silver and paper. Its standard of value is United States Gold Coin. All money made by this machine is a full legal tender for all money purposes, public and private, and its value is fixed by law to that of the standard up to its full face value. By this machine the people will inaugurate bimetallism, without the consent, or assistance of other nations. By it they will produce a money that is safe, sound and flexible, all on a parity, always enough, never too much, and at an approximate equitable interest of three per cent. per annum. All money produced by this machine and loaned by it to the people, is all redeemed by the borrower or his property, the same as the National Bank Note is now redeemed. This machine will produce a revenue from a new source for the use of the Government, variously estimated from 60 million to 200 million dollars annually, without expense to the Government for collecting. A Government Banking Department will be the people's agent for running this financial machine for them. This machine is a system of national finance and currency and if put in motion, would remove from the business world; most, if not all the evils arising from our present inadequate, iron, clad, private money systems. The suffering and loss, arising from a depreciated currency, insufficient supply, imperfect distribution and money panics, in times past are beyond computing and are the bitter fruits, that have fallen to civilized man from tradition and inheritance, from the feudal ages. All of which this financial machine would remove. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Classics in the Theory of Public Finance written by Richard A. Musgrave and published by Springer. This book was released on 1958-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was prepared mainly for specialists on the assumption that it would provide the background to an important neglected field of discussion in public finance. Since it was first published in 1958, the theory of public goods and its implications for public policy have become incorporated in the main body of the economic analysis of public finance in the literature. A glance at the footnotes of some of the standard textbooks on public finance indicates that this assembly of articles has not been in vain. Probably the most influential part of this collection has been the papers concerned with the theory of public expenditure, which contains two closely related elements. The first is as a part of welfare economics: under what conditions can Pareto optimality be achieved in an economic system in which some goods supplied are indivisible? The other strand of thought is concerned with the positive theory of the public sector: how can economic analysis be used in order to explain how the size and composition of the budget is actually determined?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Public Finance: From the Revolution of 1688, With Chapters on the Bank of England This book is intended to give in form for ready reference the salient facts in regard to the finances Of the United Kingdom. The earlier chapters tell the financial story of the critical period of the war from the fateful 4th August, 1914, when war was declared, to the budget speech of Chancellor Chamberlain on 19th April, 1920, which so ably dealt with the financial problems of the reconstruction period. The later chapters discuss the revenue, expenditure and debt prior to 1914 and England's methods of financing from the time Of William the Conqueror. Present day financial methods are traced back to their origins in these early days. The activities Of the Bank of England are so closely interwoven with the operations Of the Treasury that to apprehend clearly Great Britain's public finance one should have knowledge of the history, the functions, and the Opera tions Of the Bank; therefore several chapters have been devoted to these matters.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finance Minister, the Currency, the Public Debt 1. "In all the cities and towns throughout the country checks upon credits in banks and bills of exchange have largely taken the place of bank notes. Not a fiftieth part of the business of the large cities is transacted by the actual use of money, and what is true in regard to the business of the chief cities is measurably true in regard to that of towns and villages throughout the country. Everywhere bank credits and bills of exchange perform the office of currency to a much greater extent than in former years. Except in dealings with the government, for retail trade, for the payment of labor and taxes, for travelling expenses, the purchase of products at first hand, and for the bankers' reserve, money is hardly a necessity. The increased use of bank checks and bills of exchange counterbalances the increased demand for money resulting from the curtailment of mercantile credits." - Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the State of the Finances for the Year 1867. The Secretary here clearly recognizes the existence of two descriptions of currency, an inferior and a superior one - the former composed of notes which circulate on the faith of moneyed institutions, the latter of checks and drafts based on bank credits, and circulating on the faith of individuals. That this latter, being the superior one, tends to supplant the former, we are here assured; and that such is the natural tendency of monetary affairs is proved by all experience. The real need for circulating notes exists, therefore, always in the inverse ratio of the use of checks, drafts, clearing houses, and all other of the various contrivances for dispensing with the services of either the precious metals or the circulating note.

Download or read book The Science of Finance written by R. H. Patterson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of Finance: A Practical Treatise is a book authored by economist R.H. Patterson, and is a weighty examination of finance. R.H. Patterson's work is a thorough analysis of the financial systems of Great Britain in the 1860s. The Science of Finance is not an introductory text, but rather more of a case study. The work opens with a macro level view of the credit system in place at the time of the book's writing, a system which the author believes is responsible for much of the nation's economic development. The book goes on to examine many of the principal attributes of the British economy, including the concept of capital, the rate of interest, monetary policies, free trade in banking, municipal finance, and much more. Patterson uses a combination of the theoretical and real-world examples to illustrate his points. The book is concluded by a series of appendices that will appeal to the most ardent of readers. In addition to the practical information contained within, the book also provides the reader with an excellent history of the British financial system, and the keen reader will certainly identify the major changes that have taken place since the publication of this text. R.H. Patterson's The Science of Finance: A Practical Treatise is a challenging but informative book about the financial system of England in the nineteenth century. Those familiar with the study of economics and those interested in economic history will likely find this be a worthwhile read, and are encouraged to add this title to their personal libraries.

Download or read book The Finances of the City of New York Classic Reprint written by Yin Ch'u Ma and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finances of the City of New York For the sake of clearness, I have treated the subj ect under four separate topics, viz. (1) scientific budget-making, (2) the system of taxation, (3) the administration of the city debt, and (4) the control of revenues and expenditures under the new system of aeeo-unting. All of these separate parts are, however. Linked together into a continuous chain of logical reasoning, as clearly indicated in the introductory chapter. My chief disappointment. Is that although I have succeeded in treating the various phases of the subject as a unit, I have failed to describe fully the whole financial situ ation. This has been due in part, I must confess, to the fact that with so many factors to be taken into considera tion, my mind has failed to comprehend all or perhaps even the most important of them. This failure occurred, not withstanding the great encouragement of my major pro fessor, Professor Edwin R. A. Seligman, who has not only given me valuable suggestions as to the improvement of my work, but has also kindly arranged to have the Series bear approximately eighty per cent of the total cost of printing this book.

Download or read book Sinking Funds Classic Reprint written by Edward A. Ross and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sinking Funds The permanent funded English debt began in 1694, when twelve million pounds were borrowed from the Bank of England in consideration of its charter. During the Dutch wars the debt rapidly grew until, in 1716, it amounted to forty millions. The various loans making up the debt were based on the pledging or mortgaging of specific taxes, or reve nues. Loans thus guaranteed were said to be funded. The interest of each loan was provided for by a particular tax pledged for a term of years, while the principal was to be discharged, either by the regular excess payment of an annuity, or by the varying surplus yielded by the tax. By this fund ing policy the public debt came to consist of many small loans, each bottomed on its own petty item of revenue. This complicated and rigid system, wherein the growth of one source of income could not be used to eke out the shrinkage Of another, proved unfit for a growing public finance. In 1716, the many little items of revenue, mortgaged to some particular debt, were grouped together into four large funds, the Aggregate, South Sea, General, and Sinking funds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War and National Finance The articles which follow were written for The Round Table between the years 1912 and 1920. They all deal in one way or another with the effects of war on the financial and economic structure of this country and the British Empire. I make no claim to be a trained economist, and the articles were, all of them, written in the midst of a busy life and from a practical standpoint. I have thought it preferable, never theless, to leave them exactly as they were written, except for the omission of certain redundant passages. The reader must judge to what extent they correctly portrayed and predicted before, during and after the war the actual course of events.
