- In economics, the lump sum principle states that a tax on a person's general purchasing power is more efficient than a tax on specific goods. General purchasing power tax provides a non-distorted purchasing choice for the same amount of tax income; it leaves the consumer on a higher utility level than a tax on specific goods.
It would be easy enough to make a separate article of the section. And that would make more sense than keeping "Lump sum principle" as a section (following a 1-sentence Lead describing a use of 'lump sum' as to insurance rather than economics). 'Lump sum' and 'Lump sum principle' are conceptually distinct terms. Keeping the section of Lump sum would be something like making Firefly a section of Fire on grounds that they sound similar and have a resemblance in giving off light.
Alternatively, the uses of 'lump sum compemsation' in economics as to welfare amd trade theory could be stated. What's wrong is not necessarily the subject but its placement in this article. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 14:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC) Proofreading fix. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 03:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
