By exploring these themes, the work underscores the importance of judicial interpretations and their impact on democratic societies.

The book explores the concept of the Price of Government, emphasizing its significance beyond mere fiscal justice. It draws parallels between the roles of judicial courts and fiscal decision-makers, asserting that both must interpret their respective frameworks—legal statutes and constitutional provisions—through informed understanding. The author argues that just as medical professionals and judges research to address challenges, fiscal decision-makers should diligently study constitutional guidelines to make informed financial decisions that align with justice.

Focusing on the intersection of Economic and Political Theories, this theoretical paper explores the impact of political emoluments and public remuneration on fiscal deficit.

The project aims to provide practical solutions to fiscal governance, concluding that reducing the cost of government can significantly mitigate fiscal deficits.
