CHOICE Review

An important public finance publication, this volume is an outgrowth of a three-day conference in which nine original papers by leading authorities offer up-to-date surveys of major public policy issues, including the most recent advances in the application of economic principles to taxation and public expenditures. After an introductory chapter, chapters 2-8 examine the following topics: the burden of taxes on individuals; the dynamic and intertemporal incidence of tax; the effect of the private profit motive on the supply of public goods; the grant system and areas of needed reform; the interaction between advances in economic theory and the 1986 Tax Reform Act; the relationship between optional tax and the financing of public expenditures; and optional stabilization policy. Chapter 9 points out the policy lessons learned from optional tax literature. Chapter 10 asks the complementary question: How has optional tax theory contributed to public economics? This work is must reading for practitioners. Upper-division undergraduate through professional. P. R. Kressler; Rowan College of New Jersey
