Descrição do livro
For over a century, public finance theory has viewed government funds as financial aggregates: cash flows, budget classifications, and accounting aggregates. It has seen them as assets, never as entities. This book proposes to cross that threshold.
By effecting an epistemological break with classical legal and economic paradigms, this work establishes a vital theory of public finance: every monetary unit in the public budget represents a fraction of a taxpayer’s lifetime; every misappropriated expenditure is a life wasted; every act of corruption is, in the strictest sense of the term, a theft of souls:
"Public finance is the sum of slices of human lives translated into monetary units, extracted from people’s freedom through their labor power confiscated by a mandatory levy to finance the national community."
This thesis is fully demonstrated here through three areas of focus: the philosophical rethinking of the discipline, from Bachelard to Rawls, from Sartre to Einsteinian relativity; the legal and criminal reform of public financial law; and the elevation of the public service to the status of a sacred mission, financed by the lives of those it serves.
A work that transforms a budgetary technique into an ethics of collective life, and that invites legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to view public finances through the eyes of those who finance them: their lives.
“Having and being,” wrote Bachelard, “are nothing before becoming.” - Gaston Bachelard, The Formation of the Scientific Mind, 1934
