costs, with the above-mentioned amounts of the national income
 
 that do not embrace that portion of the national requirements,
 
that would be erroneous. So for the purposes of this com-
 
parsion we must also add  to the national lncome those re-
 
ceipts from taxes and fees which, according to the above
 
definition,  are not ordinarily  included in the total value
 
 for the national income. In 1938 (o1d Reich only) these
 
amounted to approximately 15 billion RM, and in 1939 and
 
1940 (including Austria and the Sudetenland) 19 billion RM
 
for each year. The totals for national income, augmented
 
by these sums, can be designated as social product in the
 
broader sense.
 
           The net disbursements of the whole public budget can
 
now he subtracted from these figures for the social product
 
in the broader sense. To be sure, in the case of the figures
 
for the national income amounts are involved which are ob-
 
tained, taken all in all, on the basis of the calendar year,
 
while the public expenditures are chiefly compose of figures
 
from the fiscal year. But the error is insignificant. If
 
we establish this difference between social product  and 
 
 public expenditure,  we must understand that the portion of
 
 the national income available from private enterprise is by
 
 no means restricted to the remainder. To be sure, the 
 
government itself uses the great majority of what it takes
