Emancipation, Family, Economic Order and Public Finance

Abstract

Outlines the problem of emancipation (not only of married women) as a problem of economic order, and the historical setting of family and government. Discusses economics of the family, economic order and public finance. Concludes, with special reference to The Netherlands, that incremental improvement in individual freedom is only brought about within the so‐called capitalist system.
