Includes bibliographical references (p. 204-222) and index. Contrasting architectonics for a theory of public finance -- Property, state and public finance -- State and market : a two-forum societal architecture -- Political entrepreneurship within the ecology of enterprises -- The economic organization of political enterprises -- Revenue extraction : crossing the tax-expenditure divide -- Federalism, polycentric polities and open societies -- Fiscal sociology and the challenge of societal agriculture. Rejecting conventional approaches, the author offers a view of public finance as one element of a broader scheme of social theorizing. The book assumes a working knowledge of the standard conceptual framework within which the theory of public finance is commonly presented. |
