Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help Government Spending by Gordon Tullock In most countries government spending has grown quite rapidly in recent decades. Chart 1 shows U.S. federal spending as a percentage of gross national product from 1790 to 1990. Chart 2 shows Sweden's central government expenditures as a percent of GNP. Although not many countries have such long data series, these countries apparently are typical. As the charts show, the central government's share of the economy was remarkably stable for nearly 150 years but grew quite rapidly throughout the latter two-thirds of the 20th century. Chart 1. U.S. Government Spending Enlarge in new window Chart 2. Swedish Government Spending Enlarge in new window In the past, government spending increased during wars and then typically took some time to fall back to its previous level. Because the effects of World War I were not totally gone by 1929, the line for the United States from 1790 to 1929 has a very slight upward slant. But in the second quarter of the twentieth century, government spending began a rapid and steady increase. While economists and political scientists have offered many theories about what determines the level of government spending, there really is no known explanation for either part of this historical record. The data contradict several prominent economic theories about why government spending as a percent of GNP grows. One such theory is presented by British economists Alan Peacock and Jack Wiseman, who suggest a "ratchet effect." If a war, say, raises expenditures, expenditures after the war will not fall all the way back to their prewar level. Thus the name "ratchet effect." This theory cannot explain the long period of stable government expenditures before 1929. Nor can it explain the steady growth since 1953.

Sweden: Expulsions carried out by US agents, men tortured in Egypt Revelations by Swedish TV4 in a documentary, "The broken promise", on 17 May 2004 showed that the expulsion of two men - ordered by the Cabinet - to Egypt on 18 December 2001 was carried out by hooded US agents. The plane booked by the Swedish Security Police (SÄPO) was cancelled when another plane - N379P - a "Gulfstream" executive jet supplied by a firm on the east coast of the USA which works exclusively for the the US Defence Department (two months earlier the same plane removed a Jeminite student, Jamil Gasim, in chains from Karachi in Pakistan to Amman in Jordan). The two men, Muhammed Al Zery and Ahmed Agiza, were alleged to have had connected to terrorist groups - both had been involved in islamic movements in Egypt. Ahmed Agiza fled from Egypt to Pakistan then Iran and finally Sweden in September 2000 with his wife and children (there are now five children). Muhammed Al Zery, an acquaintance of Agiza, fled from Egypt in 1991 and arrived in Sweden in August 1999. The Swedish Migration Board decided that both needed protection and granted them asylum.

Volume 19, Number 1 The CPSR Newsletter Winter 2001 Sweden to Experiment with E-voting by Anders Olsson anders.r.olsson@telia.com http://www.safevote.com/ ], in conjunction with the small Swedish company Vivarto Technologies [ http://www.vivarto.com/ Government Lays Groundwork Sweden has uncomplicated government elections: a paper ballot in a physical box. Elections are every four years; referendums are rare. Like most older western democracies, Sweden is experiencing a "democratic crisis," and the government is worried, but not so worried that it's prepared to use IT to reengineer the very structure of democracy. Rather, new technology is used to better the facade. However, this is more action than previous governments have taken. Last year, the government awarded minor sums to all sorts of experiments and projects aimed at renewing or bettering democratic processes. In November, 2000, 66 such projects received grants of between $1,200 and $60,000. The average grant was $15,000. Most of these projects are efforts to make more people interested and active in politics. A couple of funded projects involve e-voting. More such grants will be made this year. Does this indicate that the Swedish government is determined to do something radical in creating new forms of democracy for the new, IT-based society? In my opinion, probably not. The government hands out small sums to communities, organizations, and companies. Some of these small projects might succeed one way or another, but no big societal player is threatened by any of the experiments and the government has not committed itself to anything radical. A special committee on voting technology (Valtekniska utredningen) appointed by the government published its findings in January, 2001. Among the recommendations was a proposal to try voting via Internet. The committee favored a most cautious approach: small steps and small experiments to begin with and thorough evaluation of each step. Also in January, I authored a report [

Europe /Sweden SWEDEN History and Government History: Sweden’s contact with the rest of Europe is first recorded in the Viking period, when the country traded furs and arms with Russia, along the eastern passage. During the 13th century, a form of feudalism was introduced, a hereditary nobility was established and a thriving middle class of burghers emerged in the towns. Political history in this period is complex but some sense of order, however transitory, was engendered by the accession of Margaret – then Regent of Denmark and ruler of Norway – to the throne in 1387. She made an attempt to establish a united Scandinavia (the Union of Kalmar) but this did not last long after her death and, during the 15th century, the nobility were able to do much as they pleased at the expense of royal authority. The most significant event of this period was the Massacre of Stockholm in 1520, occasioned by Christian of Denmark’s ill-judged attempt to reassert his authority in Sweden; this led to a national revolt, headed by Gustav Ericksson Vasa. The Danes were defeated and Gustav was crowned Gustav I in 1523, establishing the House of Vasa and heralding the beginning of Sweden’s ascendancy in Europe. Protestantism became firmly established by the Convention of Uppsala in 1593. In 1611, Gustav II Adolf (better known as Gustavus Adolphus), one of the most famous names in Swedish history, became king. Much of the foreign policy of the 17th century was dominated by the desire to transform the Baltic into a Swedish lake – this was the main motivation behind Gustav II’s entry into the Thirty Years’ War in 1629.
