WHAT DOES PUBLIC PURSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

public purse

Government spending

In national income accounting, government spending, government expenditure, or government spending on goods and services, includes all government consumption and investment, but excludes transfer payments. The acquisition by governments, of goods and services for current use, to directly satisfy the individual or collective needs of the community, is classed as government final consumption expenditure. Government acquisition of goods and services intended to create future benefits, such as infrastructure investment or research spending, is classed as government investment. The two types of government spending, on final consumption and on gross capital formation, together constitute one of the major components of gross domestic product. Government spending can be financed by government borrowing, seigniorage, or taxes. John Maynard Keynes was one of the first economists to advocate government deficit spending as part of the fiscal policy response to an economic contraction. According to Keynesian economics, increased government spending raises aggregate demand and increases consumption, which leads to increased production and faster recovery from recessions.
