Book Description
Originally published in 1961, this book became widely used as a textbook, as an important source of primary data on British government expenditure statistics and as the point of departure for further empirical and analytical studies of the behaviour of governments. The book was recognised as one of the formative influences in the development of a positive theory of government expenditure which sought to explain the size and structure of the system of public finance rather than justify it

Book Description
Municipalities are responsible for many essential services and have become vital agents for implementing provincial policies, including those dealing with the environment, emergency planning, economic development, and land use. In Foundations of Governance, experts from each of Canada's provinces come together to assess the extent to which municipal governments have the capacity to act autonomously, purposefully, and collaboratively in the intergovernmental arena. Each chapter follows a common template in order to facilitate comparison and covers essential features such as institutional structures, municipal functions, demography, and municipal finances. Canada's municipalities function in diverse ways but have similar problems and, in this way, are illustrative of the importance of local democracy. Foundations of Governance shows that municipal governments require the legitimacy granted by a vibrant democracy in order to successfully negotiate and implement important collective choices about the futures of communities.

Book Description
The left believes that the absence of state restrictions is not enough because, as former federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent puts it, "the vast majority of choices we make to give substance to the abstract notion of freedom require money."3 While the right-wing notion of negative freedom requires that government activity be sharply limited, the left-wing notion of positive freedom requires that the s [...] There is no doubt rich, expanding the sales whatsoever that the benefits of tax also reduced the these reforms increase-both in absolute dollars and as a progressivity of proportion of income-as one Saskatchewan's tax moves up the income scale.6 system. [...] However, the number of jobs created in the petroleum industry by forgoing royalty revenues will be limited by the fact that its operations employ very few people relative to the capital invested, and are largely headquartered outside the province. [...] The annual cost of reduced royalties is similarly in the hundreds of millions of dollars.20 Saskatchewan's half-billion-dollar deficit is thus attributable to tax cuts costing a quarter of a billion dollars and royalty reductions costing at least a quarter of a billion more. [...] In the 1999 and 2003 elections, the NDP warned that the Saskatchewan Party would probably do the same thing if handed the reins of power.
