Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change and inequalities The intertwined challenge of climate change and social inequality is hitting a brick wall on the reality that resolute governmental intervention could destabilize the economy and inevitably radicalize elections in favor of authoritarian leaders. The stalemate is increasingly fracturing public opinion about regulation priorities in regards to taxation, subsidies, energy standards, carbon-taxing, minimum wages or protectionism. None has yet yielded results sufficient to prevent discontent or polarization of politics. Thinking outside of the box of tax-and-regulate It prompts one question: could it be time to consider an unconventional strategy lying in the underexplored realm of the underground economy and its alternative currencies? As it stands, jobs and tax-free transactions already happen outside the regular system. Could it inspire a way for creating green jobs with good wages and untaxing clean energy?
Download or read book Inequality and Economic Policies Just Tax the Rich written by Vincent Lannoye and published by Vincent Lannoye. This book was released on 2023-10-14 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persistent inequality and recurrent job insecurity The working class is right to complain. Since the 1970s, a significant number of workers has been stuck in low-wage jobs. Despite economic booms, such as the Reaganomics in the 1980s, the dotcom boom in the 1990s, and the housing boom of the 2000s, these workers have not benefited from real wage increases. Instead, they have faced unemployment and economic crises, causing fear and uncertainty as during the economic crises of 1974, 1982, 1991, 2001, 2008 and 2020. In addition, unaffordable housing has made it difficult for workers to move to cities with job opportunities, while healthcare costs are a burden for many, and college costs continue to rise, leaving graduates in debt for years. Meanwhile, the wealth and wage gaps between the rich and poor are widening, which results in rising social discontent. No solution in sight? The issue of inequality has persisted for decades, and there appears to be no unanimous solution in sight for the future. Worse, the rise of robotics and Artificial Intelligence could exacerbate the issue, as much as the costs associated with transitioning to green energy, which all could disproportionately affect low-income households. This book aims to address fundamental questions surrounding the issue of inequality. It will explore potential solutions, as well as debunk naive proposals for the government to realistically address the issue. Despite the complex nature of the issue, it is essential to lay the foundations for finding a viable solution.

The analysis examines what a socially sustainable green transition means in practice, and on that basis makes a number of recommendations to the Nordic countries. We have both gathered knowledge from existing initiatives and brought this to the ongoing debate in the Nordic countries on how social sustainability is integrated into the green transition. The aim of the report is to provide an understanding of the potential impact of this transition on social and economic equality in the Nordic countries, as well as of the tools that can be used to mitigate inequality-creating side effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallel economies and their currencies Parallel economies (with their currencies) have flourished in the past and still exist today. Their underlying principles and advantages have often been overlooked by economists, despite their potential to foster pivotal changes. This last statement makes it meaningful to draw insights from historical and actual instances of such economies. to reduce inequalities... and contain global warming In continuation, could an innovative parallel economy fit into the modern society? As the middle class is complaining about inequalities and rejects the costly fight against global warming, could a parallel economy help the underprivileged, alleviate the cost of decarbonization, and win over a sufficient majority? Could the last chapter with its Green-Market System work? To be successful, such a System must create jobs with good wages... and convincingly cut down CO2 emissions. Would this System be too good to be true?

Download or read book The History of Money for Understanding Economics written by Vincent Lannoye and published by Vincent Lannoye. This book was released on 2023-05-19 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics, cornerstone of politics Examining politics demands understanding of economics, as the economy always influences and constrains governmental decision-making. And, money is the key to learning economics. If the monetary system is well understood, it will clarify seemingly impenetrable economic events. The History of Money for Understanding Economics is an indispensable reference to decrypt economics, and it does so in an enthralling way, from antiquity to the present day, with readily accessible language. This book answers the following questions: How did money appear? What precisely is a bank? After circulating for centuries, why did gold coins vanish? Is there anything behind the value of paper banknotes? What is inflation? What is the IMF? Is the US trade deficit sustainable? A monetary solution, rather than a political one This book joins other groundbreaking interpretations of history that have underscored the influence of the management of money. It explains how monetary changes have precipitated events from the fall of the Roman Empire to World War II and beyond. Given the historical significance of monetary changes, could a monetary breakthrough shake up the exasperating inequalities? Indeed, Lannoye challenges the reader with a monetary innovation to finance a parallel (and green!) economy which could foster a more equitable distribution of wealth.

Download or read book An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy written by Felix R. FitzRoy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2nd edition of An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy explains the key scientific, economic and policy issues related to climate change in a completely up-to-date introduction for anyone interested, and students at all levels in various related courses, including environmental economics, international development, geography, politics and international relations. FitzRoy and Papyrakis highlight how economists and policymakers often misunderstand the science of climate change, underestimate the growing threat to future civilization and survival and exaggerate the costs of radical measures needed to stabilize the climate. In contrast, they show how direct and indirect costs of fossil fuels – particularly the huge health costs of local pollution – actually exceed the investment needed for transition to an almost zero carbon economy in two or three decades using available technology.
