Abstract
The normative part of Niskanen’s paper attempts to achieve two goals:
-
(1)
to illustrate the expected outcome of the libertarian and the constitutional (contractarian) perspectives insofar as transfers and progressive income taxes are concerned, and
-
(2)
to compare these (anticipated) outcomes of various (ideal) political agenda with our actual tax and transfer systems and evaluate those systems in the light of the results of the normative analysis.
