Health Taxes: Policy And Practice
Virtually all fiscal measures influence people's health, through their impacts on behaviour, consumption, income and wealth. A narrow subset of fiscal measures, however, can be more directly aimed at improving health by targeting behaviours and risks that are known to be strongly associated with health outcomes. The purpose of this book is to discuss the subject of these measures, which we define as 'health taxes'. The book aims to enumerate key health taxes of interest, explore their positive and negative effects, and how these effects are influenced by the design of these taxes and the context in which they are applied. We ask how and where they can be implemented. Critically, we build an argument throughout the book for why policymakers across government should care about health taxes.
Visions for the Global Economy
Visions for the Global Economy explores a collection of global issues that are vital to every student of world affairs. It addresses key topics on the global stage, focusing on the foundational aspects of these global issues. It gets to the heart of diverse arguments that create roadblocks to progress in the global economy and combines current affairs with key turning points in history. This guide examines topics of the global economy at their core, as each chapter traces the storyline of one issue. Global issues and the decisions world leaders make are complex; and there never is one clear reason as to why something exists or why something takes place. Visions for the Global Economy also considers economic growth, global economic governance, and political economy, providing a solid base for understanding the increasingly complex world today. The global economy has changed exponentially over the last decade and a half. Today, students cannot exclusively study politics or economics. They need to study both and have a good grasp of the political economy to succeed in todays world.
