In 1993 the British government published a book full of figures and diagrams.
These show how the people of Britain have spent their incomes in the last decades.
These charts make us possible for us to see on which goods and services more
money was spent and on which less was spent.
As we should expect, the amount spent on food is much greater than the amount
spent on clothing. We see that the amounts spent on alcoholic drinks and on tobacco
are much greater than those spent on books, newspapers and magazines. Out of every
twenty shillings, ten went on personal expenditure or food, clothing, rent, household
goods, etc. The government took two shillings in direct taxation. Savings were five
and the rest went for national insurance.
