Wagner's Law: an introduction to and a translation of the last version of Adolph Wagner's text of 1911
Journal of European Economy, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2004, pp.5-15
| JEL: -- | Full text (PDF) |
There exists a large number of articles and books dealing with the socalled Wagner’s Law; many of them have been published in Public Finance/Finances Publiques. Adolph Wagner (1835–1917), one of the leading German economists of the second half of the 19th century, developed his «Law on the expansion of public, in particular State activities» during a long period of more than fifty years. The latest version published by him is the one of 1911 where the «Law» is to be found in the fourth section of a larger article devoted to the economic functions of the State and the public sector. Given that this text seems not to be available in an English translation, but that his proposition in an often very simplified form still stimulates discussion, it seems to be useful to publish an English translation of it. A few introductory remarks are added in order to allow the reader to locate Wagner’s Law in the historical context and to suggest an extended and more differentiated approach to testing Wagner’s Law. Key words: na |

Key words: Globalized economic area, «new regionalism», social and economic system, boundary integrity of transnational region, antinomy, integration, disintegration, regionalization, global asymmetry and de-synchronization of development. |
