Abstract
Some of the fallacies and flaws that subsist in certain standard accounts of the general effects of taxation can be related to the fact that the primary significance of time preference has been insufficiently recognized. This article constitutes an attempt to help remedy this situation. Some valuable insights concerning the problem of the incidence of taxation equally receive proper recognition.
