Framework. An integrated view; The social objective -- Optimal taxation. Optimal income taxation; Elaboration and extensions; Income and commodity taxation -- Government expenditures. Transfer payments; Goods and services -- Additional aspects of taxation. Taxation of capital; Taxation of transfers; Taxation and social security; Taxation of families -- Distributive justice and social welfare. Welfare; Social welfare function; Other normative criteria.
Summary: The Theory of Taxation and Public Economics presents a unified conceptual framework for analyzing taxation--the first to be systematically developed in several decades. An original treatment of the subject rather than a textbook synthesis, the book contains new analysis that generates novel results, including some that overturn long-standing conventional wisdom. This fresh approach should change thinking, research, and teaching for decades to come. Building on the work of James Mirrlees, Anthony Atkinson and Joseph Stiglitz, and subsequent researchers, and in the spirit of classics by A.C. Pi.
