Abstract

"What if Canadian history was actually about the money? In 1867, Canadians wrote themselves a new constitution because they needed a new tax deal. Confederation was not just about the taxes, but it was never not about the taxes, and the founding principles of 'Peace, Order, and Good Government' should be reconsidered accordingly. Modern Canada, like Britain, France, and the United States, was born of a tax revolt. But in Canada, George Brown's tax revolt became John A. Macdonald's tax coup: a quasi-imperial fiscal federalism that successfully withstood half a century's worth of popular agitation before it began to unravel. This book describes how politics in Canada became social politics between 1867 and 1917. Canada was constructed in 1867 amidst fierce debates about fair taxation and reconstructed in 1917 amidst even fiercer ones. What did fairness mean to Canadians? That was always a 'who' question as well as a 'what' question. Some people demanded fairness for their region, others demanded fairness for their race, and still others rewrote fairness to reflect changing understandings of wealth, poverty, and land ownership. Successive chapters provide detailed case studies of those local debates and then recount how the new ideas gradually infiltrated and transformed federal politics. But the old regime did not die quietly. It fought bitterly for its clientelist, regressive fiscal federalism and the Canadian people paid a terrible price for their tax reforms. The story of that struggle has never been more timely."--

Abstract

'Stalin's Quest for Gold' tells the story of Torgsin, a chain of retail shops established in 1930 with the aim of raising the hard currency needed to finance the USSR's ambitious industrialization program. At a time of desperate scarcity, Torgsin had access to the country's best foodstuffs and goods. Initially, only foreigners were allowed to shop in Torgsin, but the acute demand for hard-currency revenues forced Stalin to open Torgsin to Soviet citizens who could exchange tsarist gold coins and objects made of precious metals and gemstones, as well as foreign monies, for foods and goods in its shops. Through her analysis of the large-scale, state-run entrepreneurship represented by Torgsin, Elena Osokina highlights the complexity and contradictions of Stalinism.

Abstract

"Canadians can never not argue about taxes. From the Chinese head tax to the Panama Papers, from the National Policy to the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, tax grievances always have and will always inspire private resentments and public debates. But if resentment and debate persist, the terms of the debate have continually altered and adapted to reflect changing social, economic, and political conditions in Canada and the wider world. The centenary of income tax is the occasion for Canadian scholars to wrestle with past and present debates about tax equity, efficiency, and justice. Who Pays for Canada? explores the different ways governments can and should tax their peoples and evaluates how well Canada has done so. It brings together a diverse group of perspectives from academia - law, economics, political science, history, geography, philosophy, and accountancy - and from the wider world of activists and public servants. It asks how Canada compares to other countries and how other countries - especially the United States - influence Canadian tax policies. It also surveys internal tax tensions and politics, interrogated by region and jurisdiction as well as by race, class, and gender. Reasoning from tax perplexities and reforms in the past and the present, it argues that fair taxation requires an informed populace and a democratically inclined public will. Above all, this book serves as a reminder that it is not only what counts as fair that is important, but how fairness is evaluated. Revealing how closely tax policy is tied to mainstream politics, human rights, and morality, Who Pays for Canada? represents new perspectives on a matter of tremendous national urgency."--

Abstract

Onder het motto voorkomen is beter dan genezen heeft zich de jongste decennia in Vlaanderen een indrukwekkend landschap aan preventieve maatregelen, diensten en projecten ontwikkeld die allemaal, zonder uitzondering, een positieve bijdrage aan onze gezondheid beloven.In de snelle, maar ongeordende ontwikkeling van dit nieuwe gezondheidsbedrijf is het moeilijk het bos nog te zien door de bomen. Dit vraagt om overzicht en inzicht en dat is precies wat dit cahier wil brengen: een overzicht van de contouren van het preventiebedrijf in Vlaanderen, met het accent op een aantal nieuwe tendensen en praktijken en inzicht in concepten, strategieën en methodologieën die dit preventief handelen trachten te onderbouwen, naast ook inzicht in evaluatie, effectiviteit, kosteneffectiviteit en ethische vraagstukken.Waarom preventie nog niet alle aandacht krijgt die het verdient, leest u in het artikel van Guy Tegenbos: 100 % van alle rokers sterft.
