Book Description
From the Introduction: "The key question in this area...over the next few decades is...the question of how large we are wise to permit governments to become." If Canadians are to answer intelligently this question, it is essential that there be a greater degree of understanding concerning the issues...The modest hope of this monograph is to make a contribution towards improving the degree of understanding of the nature of government spending and taxation at the broad or macro-economic level...This study is not an exhaustive analysis of how government affects the lives of Canadians. Not dealt with are the complex issues of how governments regulate many aspects of the private sector and of crown corporations and their role in the economy. The objective is a provide a macro or highly aggregated picture of government spending in the Canadian economy, and to examine some of the more important reasons for its growth.

Book Description
"This study analyses spending by the three levels of government - federal, provincial, and local - and constructs a profile of who benefits from government expenditure." "In 1990 government redistributed 10.0% of GDP through social programs (other than CPP), an increase from 6.7% in 1970. Interest payments made up 20.3% of government spending in 1990, up from 10.4% in 1970. The province that received the least total government spending per capita in 1990 was British Columbia, at $10,647. The province that received the most spending per capita was Nova Scotia, at $12,372, while of all governments, the Territories received the most from all levels of government, at $27,707 per capita. All provinces have experienced an increase in the fraction of government spending to total provincial GDP since 1970. Social security payments for all the Atlantic provinces amount to only 10.8% of total social security payments made in the country. Of the provincial/territorial governments, the Territories spend the most per capita, followed by Alberta, while Prince Edward Island spends the least. Ontario receives 60% of all federal interest paid on the outstanding public debt, and yet it pays just 45% of the taxes collected by the federal government."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
