Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to refresh the theoretical concept called Wagner’s Law which says that economic growth should be stipulated by increasing public expenditure. Observations of the long term trends lead to the conclusion that allocation of resources by the state systematically supersedes the market mechanism.
