Summary
  • "Strategy or Principle? Addresses a critical issue in law, public administration, and public finance: when is it constitutionally permissible and, further, prudent, to address social concerns by mandating that particular private parties take certain steps to meet that aim? Alternately, when is it appropriate for the government to expend the funds it raises through general taxation on programs that meet these aims?"
  • "In this argument, Mark Kelman criticizes a rash of recent "property rights" restoration literature which argues that the constitution mandates the use of tax-and-spend programs in place of uncompensated regulations. He also argues that certain regulatory taxes are preferable to the broad-based taxes that are designed to replace them, and that regulatory spending programs may be more efficacious than either direct governmental service provision programs or programs where the government compensates private parties for their spending." "Strategy or Principle? will be of interest to students and scholars of constitutional law, public finance, political science, and legislation and administration."--Jacket.
