1 With respect to United States, Western Europe, and Japan, Professor Felix has simply misinterpreted my argument. I was not asserting historical uniformity with respect to the composition of public and private services. I was considering the broad patterns of service outlays that go with increasing levels of per capita income. The cited literature on international comparisons (Sandee, Houthakker and Taylor, Fuchs, etc.) suggests strongly a shift towards certain public and private services, as the automobile sectoral complex decelerates.
