Abstract

This paper proves that Clarke’s mechanism to reveal consumer’s demand is nothing but a tautology. He added up the parts to form the sum, and used the sum to find the parts. The so-called Clarke tax is nothing but smoke to distract our attention.

Keywords: Public Finance, Bargaining

JEL Classification: H41, C78
