This work investigates the extent of government involvement in the economy and its rationale, tracing its historical record. The book unites articles previously published in "Fiscal Studies", each one addressing a different area of expenditure and written by an economist with an international reputation in that field. Both the data and the relevant theory are analysed and an introduction investigates the overall role of the public sector, discussing the general theory of public expenditure.
