  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Distributive Justice and Taxation

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisProviding a thorough examination of distributive justice, Distributive Justice and Taxation presents and discusses different theories of what constitutes a just society, and how goods should be distributed in such a society.The distribution of goods in society has direct and serious consequences on the lives of the people. There are therefore important questions to be asked regarding the justice of that distribution: Is it just that some people inherit large fortunes while others inherit nothing? Do rich people have additional access to political power because of their wealth? If so, is that just? And should the ambition for economic policies be to combat poverty, or to reduce inequality? This book explores these questions and a number of others through the analysis of related theories, spanning from strong egalitarian theories on the left to right-wing libertarianism. The chapters also explicitly examine the case of taxation one of the most important and contrTable of ContentsIntroduction: Inequality, justice and redistribution Part 1: Theories of justice 1.

  • Taylor & Francis Multinational Business and Transnational Regions

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisMultinational Enterprise and Transnational Regions offers an innovative approach to the study of the history of transnational economic regions. The Rhine valley is such a region comprising the cities and areas along the Rhine river and its tributaries. The transition from coal to oil that unfolded between 1945 and 1973 rapidly transformed the region, shattering some of the old river-based connections and creating new ones with the introduction of large-scale cross-border oil pipelines. Multinational enterprises shaped these new regional connections but divergent national government responses gave rise to differentiated development in different parts of the Rhine valley. Multinational Enterprise and Transnational Regions argues that processes of regional change should be understood from transnational interconnections rather than from local or national perspectives. This book uses a transnational business history methodology to tease out the regionâs transformation and to circumvent the national bias in public sources. It will be of relevance to academics and researchers with an interest in regional and transnational European history, international business, environmental history, and business history, as well as practitioners interested in the oil industry, energy and energy history, business history and international business, and associated disciplines.Trade Review"A unique multi-national study in economic policy which breaks out of the national constraints of much business history work." –Kevin Tennent, University of York, UK"This book will appeal to a range of readers interested in business, economic, and energy history, as well as those who wish to better understand the nuances and tensions of postwar Europe's infrastructural integration." - Nicholas Ostrum, EuropeNowTable of ContentsIntroductionTransnational economic regions: capturing an illusive phenomenonResurrecting the Rhine as an economic regionEnergy transition in the Rhine region Part I Regional transformation — Energy transition in the Rhine regionChapter 1 The post-war reconstruction and the rise of oil, 1945-19511.1 Introduction1.2 The question of energy in post-war Western Europe 1.3 The impact of the Allied occupation on the Ruhr coal industry1.4 The Allied refining program: restarting the hydrogenation plants1.5 The case of Union Kraftstoff1.6 The geographical consequences of the Allied occupation1.7 ConclusionChapter 2 Oil unbounded: The Coal Crisis of 1957-82.1 Introduction2.2 The competition between coal and oil, 1950-19552.3 The rise of fuel oil and the 1958 coal crisis2.4 Stemming the tide: attempts to limit the rise of fuel oil2.5 ConclusionChapter 3 The growth of chemical clusters in the Rhine region, 1960-733.1 Introduction3.2 The Rhine-Ruhr refineries3.3 Deutsche Shell and Union Kraftstoff, 1951-19583.4 The Rhineland refinery of Deutsche Shell3.5 The post-war transition of the chemical industry3.6 An oil and petrochemical cluster in the Rhine-Ruhr area3.7 Effect of the transition on transport demand in the hinterland3.8 ConclusionsPart II Regional connections — From Rhine to pipelineChapter 4 Pipelines: The national approach, 1955-64.1 Introduction4.2 A pipeline to the Rhine-Ruhr area4.3 Rotterdam competing with Wilhelmshaven4.4 Wilhelmshaven: "the best deep water port in Europe"?4.5 ConclusionsChapter 5 The trans-European pipeline: The transnational approach: 1956-85.1 Introduction 5.2 From national to transnational: the trans-European pipeline plan5.3 Further complications 5.4 France, oil and the Cold War5.5 Endgame: The failure of the trans-European pipeline5.6 Why the trans-European pipeline never materialised 5.7 ConclusionChapter 6 Expanding transnational connections, 1959-736.1 Introduction6.2 The hydrocarbon hub: The Rotterdam port between 1950 and 1973 6.3 The expansion of the Rotterdam-Rhine pipeline, 1965-1968 6.4 The Rhine-Main pipeline, 1965-1971 6.5 Integrating chemical clusters in the Rhine basin, 1965-736.6 The Rotterdam-Antwerp pipeline, 1967-19696.7 ConclusionChapter 7 Transnational connections in the Rhine region: Evidence from transport flows7.1 Introduction7.2 Gateway to the Rhine?
