Description
Governments worldwide face significant challenges in managing their finances sustainably. One key issue is that they often fail to provide basic financial information that businesses are required to maintain, leading to inefficiency and poor decision-making. This lack of transparency can have far-reaching consequences, including unsustainable public finances and a lack of accountability to future generations. However, there are ways to address these problems and make government finances more resilient and fairer in the long term. By understanding their net worth - both today and for the future - governments can make informed decisions about policy and resource allocation. This book provides a comprehensive framework for achieving this goal, offering practical solutions that are grounded in fact and non-partisan in approach.
