The volume deals with the changing role of public finance during the twentieth century, documenting the enormous increase in public spending found in all industrialized countries. The authors believe that the growth in government spending over the past thirty-five years has not resulted in significant additional social and economic well-being. This suggests that public spending in industrialized countries could be much lower without sacrificing important economic policy objectives. For this to be possible, governments must reconsider their role as players who set the rules of the game, and the study suggests possible institutional and spending policy reforms.

In the twenty-eighth edition of How Ottawa Spends leading Canadian scholars examine the Harper government agenda in the context of Stéphane Dion's election as Liberal opposition leader and the emergence of climate change as a dominant political and policy issue. This volume focuses on Quebec-Canada relations and federal-provincial fiscal imbalance. Contributors explore several key policy and expenditure issues, including Canada-U.S. relations, the Federal Accountability Act, energy policy, health care, child care, crime and punishment, consumer policy, and public service labour relations.
