The beliefs that Government interferes with individual freedom and thatprivate and public goods are competitive appear to be the two majorreasons for man's aversion to paying taxes. In reality, however,especially from a socio-economic viewpoint, government also increasesindividual freedom, and the acceptance of necessity is as much aningredient of good life as the attainment of freedom. Furthermore,private goods and public goods are as complementary as they arecompetitive. Thus, compared with the main- stream neoclassicaleconomist, the social economist has a more complete understanding of theactual human condition and, in so doing, he can provide better solutionsto the problem of man's hostility to paying taxes.
