Thus, the discussions on the classification of public expenditure, the theory of minimum sacrifice as the principle for distribution of the public burdens, the controversies as to the division of taxation between countries with a common revenue system, as well as those on the rue principles of local taxation, have been noticed. So have the latest theories on the ever-recurring question of incidence. But though we must gladly recognise the increased interest that the revival of economic inquiry has attracted to the more abstract side of financial theory, it is yet essential to remember that the new matter is small in proportion to the body of pre-existing doctrine. There has been no fundamental change, but only that expansion which is characteristic of all scientific study. Hence the space allotted to the topics mentioned above has been rigidly restricted and their relation to the general system made as obvious as possible. The movements of financial policy have been similarly treated. The new French inheritance taxes, the reform of direct taxation in Austria, the temporary duties in the United States for the purposes of the Spanish war, as well as the improvements which the same event has produced in Spanish finance, all these have found their natural place in the descriptive and historical notices of the several taxes. The most remarkable, and to English readers the most serious, of these practical developments has been the alteration in the direction of English financial policy brought about by the occasion of the South African war, but really due to a deeper cause, viz. the desire to secure what is described as a broader basis for taxation. Under the influence of this idea, urged by an influential section of public opinion and obtaining additional support from the protectionist party, the customs tariff has been first extended in the form of a revenue duty on sugar, accompanied by a return to the primitive policy of an export duty on coal, and followed by a trivial, but so far protective, tax on corn. These measures, when considered, as they should be, in connexion with the legislation on matters of economic policy of the past seven years, indicate a disposition on the part of the predominant political party to depart from the financial principles which have prevailed since 1860. This attempt, whatever be its fate, is one of great interest to the scientific student of finance. The success that has attended the financial measures of Peel and Gladstone, and the remarkable contrast between the position of Great Britain and that of other European states in respect to economic and financial conditions, suggest the belief that experiments such as the coal and corn duties are undesirable, while any great extension of the policy would be hazardous in the extreme. But whether the general basis of the established English revenue system be retained or abandoned, it is beyond doubt that the growth of expenditure presents a grave problem for the future. In spite of warnings from responsible members of both parties, PLL v6.0 (generated September, 2011) 6 http://oll.libertyfund.org/title/275 Online Library of Liberty: Public Finance there has been an automatic increase in outlay that necessarily involves a heavier tax burden. No readjustment of taxes can give an escape from this result. The income of the citizen may, indeed, be attached directly, or by a series of indirect charges. The adoption of the latter method will not, however, reduce the amount of pressure; in some respects it will decidedly aggravate it. Prudent selection of the forms of taxation may afford some relief, just as mistaken choice will add to the loss, but speaking broadly, Ricardo's emphatic statement holds good that “the great evil of taxation is to be found not so much in any selection of its objects as in the general amount of its effects taken collectively” (Works, p.

  • By Frank Uekötter in the History of Land, Different Dimensions Overlap
    by Frank Uekötter In the history of land, different dimensions overlap which are, strictly speaking, not interdependent. Land was simultaneously sover- eign territory, the basis of agricultural production, a repository of mineral resources, a space to be accessed or travelled across, the object of expert knowledge and science, and the property of a state or private persons. The different rationales connected with these various perspectives resulted in numerous conflicts which became ever more difficult to resolve due to the increasing pace of change in most of these areas from the 19th century onward. If one views modern history "from below" in this way, it becomes a history of the mobilization of land. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Land and Power 3. Land as a Possession 4. No Entry! The Question of Access 5. Mineral Resources 6. Land as an Object of Knowledge 7. The Mystery of Fertility 8. Lack of Respect 9. A European History? 10. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Literature 3. Notes Indices Citation At first glance, an article on land seems somewhat out of place in a historical project which attempts to view Europe as the product of intercultural transfer processes. Land is not typically subject to transfer, but is immobile to a high degree. The physical substrata of the land are the product of long geological processes, and the natural history of land has thus unfolded over time periods which are very long in comparison with human history. For this reason, land became a classic symbol of permanence and traditionalism in several European countries. And when land is made to move by wind or water, this movement follows natural laws, ignoring cultural conditions completely.

  • A Commentary on Some Controversial Issues
    Industrial Policy in Japan and the Policy Choices for Central and East European Countries - A Commentary on Some Controversial Issues Werner Pascha1 Nobuko Inagawa has written an excellent paper on the relevance of Japanese experiences for a successful integration of Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) into the world economy. Talking about the case of Japan is particularly interesting - and potentially controversial - compared with the experiences of other leading economies or successful late- industrializers. The reason is that Japan - or rather: a significant part of its political, bureaucratic and academic establishment - currently is the only major challenger to the so- called „Washington consensus“ on how to go about structural change in developing and post- socialist transition economies. Here, I want to concentrate on three issues, which could be seen somewhat controversially when utilising Japan´s experiences and drawing policy lessons for CEECs: 1. Did Japan ever experience a „transformation“, suitable as a „tertium comparationis“ with today´s CEECs? 2. Are such experiences helpful with respect to the policy problems of today´s CEECs? 3. To what extent is the experience „translated“ into theory and to what extent is it made use of by Japanese institutions and researchers? 1. The experience of systemic change in Japan Comparing Japan´s past with the present experience of the CEECs is of course tricky. If we think of a „transformation“ as a full-scale switch from a command economy to a market economy and from collective or state ownership to private ownership, we have to admit that 1 This paper was prepared as a commentary to Nobuko Inagawa´s contribution („Experience from other countries.

  • Making History in High Medieval Styria (1185-1202)—The Vorau Manuscript in Its Secular and Spiritual Context
    Making History in High Medieval Styria (1185-1202)—The Vorau Manuscript in its Secular and Spiritual Context by Jacob Wakelin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Jacob Wakelin 2018 Making History in High Medieval Styria (1185-1202)—The Vorau Manuscript in its Secular and Spiritual Context Jacob Wakelin Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation focuses on the historical, social, and political context of the Vorau manuscript (Stiftsarchiv Vorau Codex 276), a collection of more than a dozen Middle High German poems from the late eleventh to the mid-twelfth century in addition to Otto of Freising’s Gesta Friderici I. imperatoris. When taken together, the manuscript’s disparate assortment of texts creates a roughly coherent history of the world from Genesis down to about 1160. Compiled by the Augustinian canons of the Styrian house towards the end of the twelfth century under the provost Bernard I, the manuscript references local historical events and individuals that were intimately tied to the region’s monastic houses. The Otakars (1055-1192) and Babenbergs (1192-1246) were the founders and advocates of a large number of the monastic communities, and this dissertation argues that the interplay of interests between the Styrian court and its religious houses forms the backdrop to the Vorau manuscript’s creation. These interests centred on the political legitimacy, social relevance, and stability of both parties that resulted from a monastery’s role in creating a history of a dynasty through commemorative practices and historical writing.

Although there have been some major reforms, most changes have been piecemeal additions to the Mining Law of 1872. In this article, the new and comprehensive mining law enacted in the Federal Republic of Germany is examined and comparisons are made with American mining law. Professor Trelease discusses the background of American and Ger- man mining law, tracing them to their common ancestry. Dr. Kuehne then examines the new German mining code. As a modem mining code for a major Industrial country, the new West German mining law contains a variety of provisions which provide solutions to a number of problems which persist in American law.
