Institutions of Economic Policy

A Comparative Analysis

The very essence of politics: collecting taxes and financing warfare and welfare

The hard core, so to say, of the economic governance of any state is a matter of money. Money is needed to run the government. The state must collect enough revenues for its own existence as well as for providing vital services such as protecting people against external threats (defence) or against themselves (police and courts), and financing all the expensive duties that the government chooses to fulfil.
