Knut Wicksell on Social%20Goods - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 276 Public Good/Wicksell: for Wicksell (1896) (1), the ability of a policy to approve was the decisive criterion for individuals themselves ((s) in the pursuit of this policy). Taxes are only acceptable to the individual citizen if they are used to finance public goods that the citizen wishes to have. This leads to the so-called principle of equivalence, which requires any tax to be legitimised by a benefit for citizens on the expenditure side. (For problems in this context, see Public Good/Economic Theories, Public Good/Samuelson). 1. Knut Wicksell, Finanztheoretische Untersuchungen nebst Darstellung und Kritik des Steuerwesens Schwedens.
