Three Extracts on Public Finance
Abstract
This is not the place to discuss★★ whether, when and how far the compulsory acquisition of goods by the State may be justified. It suffices here to state that it stems from the very nature of the State as a compulsory association, in the same way as do its demands for compulsory personal services. This justifies the State’s compulsory acquisition of goods, and it occurs throughout history. Its principal forms are taxation and expropriation. The compulsory acquisition of goods by the State may be termed “public”; by contrast, we speak of the State’s “commercial” activities when it acquires revenue by its own production or by contractual services against specific returns. Public loans also belong to the latter category.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
