As I look at the political issues facing our community, 1 would argue that we must be careful to spend our funds so as to get the omy) and some part of my teaching is about alternatives to profit maximization as a motivating factor in decisionâ€"making. Again, the emphasis is on incentives and allocating resources, not on gouging the public, which unfortunately seems to be a perspective some people think is the only perspective of the businessman. Where would we be as a society if we did not have viable businesses to proâ€" vide jobs and products which we consume? The study of how one allocates resources, how one distributes those resources and how one gets the most successful outcome from a given level of resources means one has to study the incenâ€" tives which exist and look at how to reâ€"design those incentives to make sure we get more for the resources we are endowed with. When I teach social workers who sometimes believe that they have a mandate to do certain things but who are motivated to help peoâ€" ple, I tell them that they ought to be interested in how they can help the most people with the resources they have â€" money is not the only resource as they have to budget time and energy as well. When I look at my obligations as a Christian, I am interested in how to best allocate the resources to do the most good in evangelism, misâ€" sions or whatever. Sometimes spending money or time or energy will have little impact whereas other times small things can have a big impact.

When I wrote about the ward system last month, I was putting on my hat as an economist and pointing out that we want to get as much good @risionâ€"making as possible per dollar spent. 1 do not believe t}mg:g more councillors will ever make the decisions better BUT 1 algo believe it is necessary to have such political repreâ€" sentatives tai@hitke the political decisions â€" thus, I believe that when the peoj this city voted to reduce the number of wards to five last year, they did so with this ‘n mind. They did not vote to reduce to three or zero and 1 would fight such a decision. The fact is that if the people we elect are true to what they say in their camâ€" paigns and study what papers are given them, they will question staff recommendations so that they make decisions which reflect the best outcome per dollar of taxes collected. Douglas McCready is a professor of economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. tax dollars could be spent if they were not collected as taxes too and if they could be used to provide jobs for the unemployed and those on welfare, which may be more efficient than handing out dollars to the unemployed and welfare recipients (note, I am not saying that is necessarily the case). 1 have argued here before that I believe the churches and service clubs would be better distributors of welâ€" fare since they would accompany that distribution with caring and greatest good per tax dollar collected.
