Facts & Figures on Government Finance (Facts & Figures on Government Finance)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Published regularly since 1941 and annually since 1990, Facts and Figures on Government Finance is a goldmine of public finance data at every level of government, with comparisons of taxing and spending levels spanning a century. It answers such questions as:
•How much of the nation's earnings is collected in taxes?
•How much do wealthy Americans pay in income taxes?
•How have income tax rates changed since the Constitution was amended in 1913?
•When is Tax Freedom Day in each state?
•The federal government talks about education, but how much does it spend?
•Which states do not have an income tax?
•How many Americans live below the poverty level?
•This compendium of public finance data also includes the best historical presentation of the history of individual income tax rates available anywhere.
This annual reference book contains 250 charts of the most recent government finance data available, conveniently divided into 7 sections: Selected Economic Statistics, Overview of All Governments, Federal Government, State and Local Governments, State Governments, Local Governments and International.
More useful than several more specialized volumes, Facts and Figures on Government Finance combines material from numerous sources-including out-of-print government documents, private sources and official government data from the Office of Management and Budget, the Commerce Department and the Treasury Department. For state and local finance, it fills the gap left by the discontinuation of the Census Bureau's Government Finance series.
Facts and Figures on Government Finance can be found in university libraries, government agencies, public libraries, nonprofit organizations, think tanks and corporations all across the U.S. and numerous other countries. Government officials, economists, CEO's, economics professors, students and media alike rely on this valuable resource. It is also a useful tool for people seeking to increase their knowledge of the nation's finances, communicate effectively with their elected officials and develop a better understanding of the perennial debates over taxes and spending.
