Conception of an Encyclopedia

by Jürgen G. Backhaus (Volume editor)
©2014 Edited Collection 475 Pages
Science, Society & Culture
Series: Finanzsoziologie, Volume 5

Summary

The issue whether fiscal sociology is ripe for an encyclopedia is the hidden agenda of this project. The authors are international experts from the old and the new world, from Italy to Estonia, the Netherlands to Russia, and of course, the United States. The essays cover both, the history of fiscal sociology and recent and future issues, such as the making of the Estonian constitution, which emphasizes fiscal austerity, and the emerging European constitution.
