Fiscal Tiers (Routledge Revivals)

Exploring the economic theory behind non-central government systems, this book delves into their functions, size, and structure. It analyzes financing methods such as taxes, charges, and loans, while also addressing the role of grants from higher government tiers. By relating theory to practical examples from countries like Australia, Canada, West Germany, the UK, and the USA, it highlights contemporary economic issues and developments in governance.
