This is for Dr. Cross. You won't have a lot of time, but I wanted to circle back to the concepts of transparency and accountability, which have really become more than a talking point, one would hope, in government.
From an economic perspective, what is the more efficient use of capital—leaving it in the hands of taxpayers, or having government collect more tax and then granting those monies to enterprises selected by bureaucrats? That's really the crux of this study.
However, in order to make that determination, we really don't have the information we need. What kinds of steps could we take to make the process more transparent and accountable to taxpayers, so that we understand actually what the net cost to society is of taxing this money and centrally planning its expenditure?
