Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. For the first time in print, never-before-seen original works by the late Jeremy Bentham, a renowned Enlightenment philosopher best known for his significant contributions to utilitarianism, are made available for your reading pleasure. These writings, composed over two centuries ago, address an issue that is equally pressing today: how to balance the need for government expenditure with the burden it places on citizens. Delving into topics such as defense spending, public assistance, and the role of the church, Bentham's razor-sharp economic insights pierce the veil of obscurity that so often surrounds these complex topics. His incisive arguments dismantle popular misconceptions and present a compelling vision for a society that values both efficiency and equity. This collection of Bentham's writings offers invaluable lessons for governments and citizens alike, demonstrating that thoughtful economic policy can lead to a better life for all.
