【Course Objectives】

 The goals of this lecture are to study the relationship between public finance and private markets, to learn about fiscal issues facing Japan and other countries, to understand the significance and challenges of fiscal policy and public services, and to view familiar social issues from public finance's perspective.

【Course Contents】

 In this lecture, students will learn the basic ideas of public finance, both in theory and practice. Currently, the Japanese government has huge public debt, and many people are concerned about the sustainability of public services in the future. In addition to this, a new type of coronavirus infection has been raging around the world since early 2020. The government has decided to spend an unprecedented amount of money to combat COVID-19, but despite the large fiscal outlay, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened, and the country has yet to emerge from COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, from 2022, the impact of the war in Ukraine will spread throughout the world, and many countries are now implementing measures to deal with rising prices. In times of crisis, what is the ideal form of public finance? Why are these fiscal problems occurring? How can they be solved? Using the study of public finance as a starting point, we will deepen our understanding of the issues facing contemporary society.
