The Fiscal Crisis of the State
O'Connor, James Publisher: St. Martin's Press, New York, USA Year Published: 1973 Pages: 276pp Resource Type: Book
O'Connor sets out to find answers to questions such as 'Who will pay for rising government expenditures? Will some kinds of spending rise while others are cut back? Can the government deliver more services for less taxes? Why don't American want to pay for services that presumably benefit the "people"? Can the fiscal system survive in its present form?'
