- Title
FEDERALISM: CONTINUING PREDICAMENT.
- Authors
Daland, Robert T.; Leach, Richard H.
- Abstract
This article focuses on federalism while discussing various books related to this subject. Federalism has been the subject of controversy from the first days of the Republic. The author discusses the Eleventh Annual Report of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR). The present crisis in federalism is a product of the attempt to attack problems in urban, particularly large metropolitan, areas, as of March 1971. ACIR recognizes that it is in these areas where all levels of government operate in close proximity and where, as a result, potentially explosive intergovernmental tensions and conflicts are generated. All the books, discussed in this article are greatly concerned with the fiscal problem of federalism. In the book "The Politics and Economics of State-Local Finance," by L.L. Ecker-Racz, the writer discusses the many taxing jurisdictions in the U.S. and devotes much attention to the kinds of taxes they use, and concludes that the splintering into many separate governmental entities cripples financing capability.
