Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Disproportion of Taxation in Pittsburgh First: The schedule of tax rates, untangled to a great extent by the abolition of the district school taxes, should be further simplified and Should be kept simple. There are often local responsibilities which are SO peculiar to the annexed territory that they should be shouldered for a short time at least by the individuals or community in which they originated, but the period of readjustment should be made as brief as possible. Second: The machinery for an annual, instead Of a triennial, assessment of all city real estate should be set to work. Taxes are levied annually and city budgets are planned annually; the basis for the raising of these taxes should also be made up annually.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Impact of Federal Taxes Common prudence might dictate the postponement Of any book Of this sort until the war is over, and we can view in retrospect the wisdom Of the changes in the federal tax system enacted to meet the needs Of this greatest emergency. A scholar could delay his judgments, but in this case a legis lator and a businessman cannot. Taxes must be collected and paid day after day. A decision in Congress even to main ta1n the status quo will have great repercussions. A'determi nation to lower an exemption here; to increase a rate there; to add this new Victory tax or that spendings tax to the sys tem affects vitally the family and business lives Of millions Of people. Expediency and gross revenues produced are poor guides to fairness in taxation, even in wartime. The government owes it to itself to encourage citizens to produce to maxi mum capacity.'a badly designed tax system, however much it may yield, can be a serious brake on incentive. Ours, with the best intentions, IS beginning to function as a brake today. Hence, it is certainly worth while to consider, as best we can, how a fairer and more adequate tax system may be con structed which will be as little harmful as possible to the economy we fight to preserve.

Download or read book The Incidence of Taxation Classic Reprint written by Benjamin Francis Conn Costelloe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Incidence of Taxation What we are concerned with in the main statement, and, above all, what we are concerned with at this moment in London, is the canon of equality. That on any theory of government immense sums must, year by year, be raised for the public treasury, Imperial and local, and that these can only come, in the end, out of the pockets of some of the members of the community, - this is the given fact. Who ought to pay the bill, and in what share and form, is the problem. That the distribution of the charge as between all the free subjects of the State should be based upon a rule of equality, is the axiom from which all men start. What is equality for the purposes of taxation is the crux. That the rule of Adam Smith is not sufficient, and is not, indeed, correct even so far'as it goes, has been practically admitted by later economists, although no one, I think, has taken the trouble to work out an adequate formula. I shall not pretend to do so tonight: but, by way of contribution to the discussion, I shall try to set out some at least of the conditions on which the discovery of the ultimate canon must depend. The development which the principle has taken is curious. The theory is suggested at least as early as the old Poor Law of Elizabeth, when the subjects were expected to contribute to the expenses of the State concerning pauperism according to their ability. I shall have to consider presently, when I pass to the question of local rates, how these words were interpreted at the time and how oddly they changed their meaning afterwards. But the truth IS that no one has yet devised any satisfactory measure of the ability of each citizen to bear the common burden.

Download or read book On the Shifting and Incidence of Taxation Classic Reprint written by Edwin R. A. Seligman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Shifting and Incidence of TaxationFinally, we must not confound the incidence of taxation with the effect of taxation. A tax may have a great many effects. It may diminish indus try and impoverish individuals; it may in some cases stimulate production and enrich individuals; it may be an unmitigated curse to society; it may be a nec essary evil; it may be an unqualified boon to the community regarded as a whole. With none of these problems does the study Of incidence busy itself. All that we have to investigate is: On whom does the tax ultimately fall? When we once know this we can then proceed to the further discussion of the effects produced on the various classes or individuals by the pressure of taxation. The problem of incidence con cerns itself simply with the one question of fact, who really pays the tax? It does not pretend to unravel the final consequences of taxation. The Shifting is the process; the incidence is the result; the changes in the distribution Of wealth are the effect.The discussion of incidence thus depends entirely On the investigation of the Shiftings of taxation. The real problem before us is to ascertain the condition according to which a tax is Shifted onwards, back wards or not at all. Only when we understand why and how a tax is shifted, can we discover its actual incidence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research carried out by the World Bank on the root causes of conflict and civil war finds that a developing country's economic dependence on natural resources or other primary commodities is strongly associated with the risk level for violent conflict. This book brings together a collection of reports and case studies that explore what the international community in particular can do to reduce this risk.; The text explains the links between natural resources and conflict and examines the impact of resource dependence on economic performance, governance, secessionist movements and revel financing. It then explores avenues for international action - from financial and resource reporting procedures and policy recommendations to commodity tracking systems and enforcement instruments, including sanctions, certification requirements, aid conditionality, legislative and judicial instruments.
Download or read book The Copyright Wars written by Peter Baldwin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's copyright wars can seem unprecedented. Sparked by the digital revolution that has made copyright—and its violation—a part of everyday life, fights over intellectual property have pitted creators, Hollywood, and governments against consumers, pirates, Silicon Valley, and open-access advocates. But while the digital generation can be forgiven for thinking the dispute between, for example, the publishing industry and Google is completely new, the copyright wars in fact stretch back three centuries—and their history is essential to understanding today’s battles. The Copyright Wars—the first major trans-Atlantic history of copyright from its origins to today—tells this important story. Peter Baldwin explains why the copyright wars have always been driven by a fundamental tension. Should copyright assure authors and rights holders lasting claims, much like conventional property rights, as in Continental Europe? Or should copyright be primarily concerned with giving consumers cheap and easy access to a shared culture, as in Britain and America? The Copyright Wars describes how the Continental approach triumphed, dramatically increasing the claims of rights holders. The book also tells the widely forgotten story of how America went from being a leading copyright opponent and pirate in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to become the world’s intellectual property policeman in the late twentieth. As it became a net cultural exporter and its content industries saw their advantage in the Continental ideology of strong authors’ rights, the United States reversed position on copyright, weakening its commitment to the ideal of universal enlightenment—a history that reveals that today’s open-access advocates are heirs of a venerable American tradition. Compelling and wide-ranging, The Copyright Wars is indispensable for understanding a crucial economic, cultural, and political conflict that has reignited in our own time.
