Originally published in 1961, this book became widely used as a textbook, as an important source of primary data on British government expenditure statistics and as the point of departure for further empirical and analytical studies of the behaviour of governments. The book was recognised as one of the formative influences in the development of a positive theory of government expenditure which sought to explain the size and structure of the system of public finance rather than justify it

In our political system of representative govern ment, ultimate responsibility for government finances rests with the people. In exercising this responsibility the citizen faces problems of performance, control, and, particularly, choice of programs. Gradually, over the past century, he has evolved organized ways to exercise these functions. But the Depression of the 1930's and World War II released many new forces and created new situations which tend to baffle the citi zen in the exercise of his responsibility. These new problems arise from the shift in power and influence from state and local governments to the federal government. They include com plexity and centralization, the weakening of state and local governments, and the emergence of new forces such as the "new economics," collective bargaining with public employees, and a general blunting of the traditional yardstick of measuring expenditures against taxes to be paid. These problems have severe implications for the role of the citizen in the future. More and more, he needs help to understand the issues. This help can be supplied by citizen organizations. But even more, he needs to be stimulated to an active interest in government problems, that now loom so large and threaten to frustrate his ability to cope with them.
