Taxes and bribes
Countries with a low GDP per capita generally have a much lower fiscal quota than OECD countries, but many other factors push up the transaction costs in poor economies. High-tax societies provide more security, predictability and organizational discipline. The absence of such conditions is a powerful breeding-ground for corruption. If fiscal payments and bribes are added up to arrive at a composite measure of the ‘extraction burden’ in different…
The Council of Europe
The post-war European credo – never again a Europe given over to totalitarian terror and war, but a Europe of peace and freedom – led to the creation in May 1949 of the Council of Europe with the clear political and ideological alignment to build a Europe of common values (democracy, human rights and the Rule of Law), to which the practice of market economy was added. The promotion of those fundamental values constituted the Council's specific ma…
The success of a failure
IN THE GREEK LEGEND, the stable where King Augeas of Elis kept his 3000 oxen had not been cleaned for 30 years. Hercules performed the task in one day by diverting two rivers through the stable. The pollution that the last leader of the Soviet Union tried to sweep out by leading glasnost' and perestroika into his society presented a much greater challenge. From the very outset Gorbachev's agenda included not only political and economic reform but…
Tributes, Tariffs, Taxes and Trade
Government action presupposes extraction. Historically, four different sources of public revenue may be distinguished. Tributes, which are common in peimitive and belligerent states, are variable levies exacted at irregular intervals. Tariffs raised on the basis of the physical control of strategic passageways are important sources of income for mercantile states in the early stage of their development. Taxes play some role in semi modern economi…
Secret institutions in Russian government
Curbing Public Expenditure
Nearly every OECD country has faced a scissors crisis in public finance since the worldwide depression of the mid-1970s; in slow growth economies public spending has been rising faster than tax revenues. In response, a great variety of methods have been employed to control public spending. Governments have sought to: impose global ceilings on spending; modify indexation rules; decentralize decremental decisions among government agencies; improve …
Good Cuts, Bad Cuts
Quantitative targets are widely used in decremental budgeting. On the macro‐level, governments set global limits for the growth of public expenditures, government deficits, or the ratio of government spending to GNP. On the micro‐level, reduction targets are frequently assigned to spending ministries or agencies on a selective basis or across‐the‐board. While this kind of targetry appears to be indispensable to achieve cutbacks, it is also very d…
The scissors crisis in public finance
Rational decremental budgeting
The Soviet Political Agenda
An examination of Russia's philosophical heritage. It extends from the Slavophiles to the philosophers of the Silver Age, from emigre religious thinkers to Losev and Bakhtin and assesses the meaning for Russian culture as a whole
The Soviet Political Agenda
The Soviet Political System
Who sets the agenda in Soviet politics? Three answers to that question are considered in this review article. According to thetotalitarianmodel, the selection of action goals is the privilege of a relatively autonomous supreme leadership in control of hierarchically structured sub‐systems. Thepluralistmodel, by contrast, is based on the assumption that issues acquire significance through efficient pressures by mobilized group interests. While the…
The Growth of Public Expenditures
Neutrality and the Common Market
The Soviet doctrine on the legal implications of neutrality is liberal with regard to the non-aligned nations in the third world but rigid with regard to the neutral states in Western Europe. On the one hand, Soviet jurists defend the right of neutral countries to pursue a highly active foreign policy. On the other, they contend that neither membership nor association with the Common Market is compatible with Swedish, Austrian, or Swiss neutralit…
