Explicitness
ORIGINAL > The thesis of this article is that parliamentary institutions and the self
government of cities tend to arise ▲ as devices to reassure factor owners against the
fiscal demands of the State, whenever the level of economic activity and, with it,
the tax revenue of the State ▲ , become particularly sensitive to expectations
regarding the tax rate. This happens whe re production factors are highly mobile ▲
and/or technological change in its broadest sense creates new opportunities for
investment.
ELABORATED > The thesis of this article is that parliamentary institutions and
the self-government of cities tend to arise, or emerge, as instruments to protect
factor owners when the fiscal demands of the State are high. This occurs whe n the
level of economic activity and the tax revenue of the State (the gains obtained
from what citizens pay to the government) become vulnerable to expectations
related to the tax rate. Tax revenue becomes vulnerable whe n production factors are
highly mobile ( that is, variable) and/or technological change, in its broadest
sense, creates new opportunities for investment.
