Politics and Public Debt
Through the window of history, Politics and Public Debt examines the influence of debt-holders over fiscal and economic policy-making by Canadian governments. Robert Ascah focuses on debt management issues faced by the Canadian government between 1930 and 1952, a time shaped by stresses of depression, war, and reconstruction. He takes special note of Alberta's historic default of 1936, an event as little known as it was defining for both the province's finances and the country's. In Politics and Public Debt, economists, political scientists, bankers, investors, historians, and students interested in Canadian politics, government and the future of public finance will find valuable background and perspective on a subject that affects us all.
The Land of Too Much
Monica Prasad’s powerful demand-side hypothesis addresses three questions: Why does the United States have more poverty than any other developed country? Why did it experience an attack on state intervention in the 1980s, known today as the neoliberal revolution? And why did it recently suffer the greatest economic meltdown in seventy-five years?
A Sales Tax for Alberta
The days of buoyant capital investment, jobs, and wealth are passing Alberta by as the boom-and-bust cycle runs its course and the global climate crisis becomes more acute. As the province scrambles to boost the dying oil economy and curb spending, one solution is all but ignored—a sales tax. In this collection, Alberta scholars and policy experts map out why and how a provincial sales tax can and should be implemented. They examine energy revenues, household incomes, and political support as well as opportunities for improving democracy and reducing the volatility of government revenues. Finally, this volume offers recommendations on structuring a consultative review process to improve Alberta’s long-term fiscal sustainability. Contributions by Ergete Ferede, Ian Glassford, Kenneth J. McKenzie, Melville McMillan, Elizabeth Smythe, and Graham Thomson.

Im Land des Überflusses
Mit der Laudatio von Wolfgang Knöbl zur Verleihung des Siegfried-Landshut-Preises Warum gibt es in den Vereinigten Staaten mehr Armut als in jedem anderen entwickelten Land? Wie ist es um das paradoxe Verhältnis von uferlosem Reichtum und verheerender Armut bestellt? Die amerikanische Konsumenten-Ökonomie hat ihren Ursprung nicht in Shoppingmalls oder in den Städten, so Monica Prasad, sondern in der Macht der Agrarlobbys im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert. Farmer hatten einen bemerkenswerten Einfluss: Sie setzten das Ende des Goldstandards durch und damit die »Demokratisierung« des Kredits, also eine Politik des leicht verfügbaren Geldes sowie der progressiven Besteuerung. Zunächst führ...
