Cambridge University Press Economic Analysis Moral Philosophy and Public Policy
Book SynopsisThis book shows through argument and numerous policy-related examples how understanding moral philosophy can improve economic analysis, how moral philosophy can benefit from economists' analytical tools, and how economic analysis and moral philosophy together can inform public policy. Part I explores the idea of rationality and its connections to ethics, arguing that when they defend their formal model of rationality, most economists implicitly espouse contestable moral principles. Part II addresses the nature and measurement of welfare, utilitarianism and cost-benefit analysis. Part III discusses freedom, rights, equality, and justice - moral notions that are relevant to evaluating policies, but which have played little if any role in conventional welfare economics. Finally, Part IV explores work in social choice theory and game theory that is relevant to moral decision making. Each chapter includes recommended reading and discussion questions.Trade Review'The new edition of the book by Hausman, McPherson, and Satz is a rich and needed reading of economic analysis from the viewpoint of moral philosophy. Economists, if they reflect on these issues at all, think of their work as akin to physics; we find the pre-existing laws which govern the economic world. They can be considered simply as factual relations interesting in their own right; they can be used, as electricity, to serve human ends. What the authors demonstrate by detailed examination is that the analysis itself is shot through with normative and philosophical considerations. Any thoughtful reader will find his or her presuppositions challenged.' Kenneth J. Arrow, Stanford University, California, and Winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences'It is a tragedy that mainstream economists have mostly lost touch with philosophy, and with the ethical basis for what they do. This book is the perfect way to make repairs and to catch up. It should be read by all economists, and required reading for those who make policy recommendations.' Sir Angus Deaton, FBA, Princeton University, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and Winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economic SciencesThis is an indispensable guide to the intersection of economics and philosophy: clear, rigorous and myth-busting. But it is much more than a guide. For it not only analyses the relevant debates but develops their arguments. It is a work of scholarship: a major contribution to both disciplines.' Sir Julian Le Grand, London School of Economics'Economic Analysis, Moral Philosophy, and Public Policy offers a comprehensive review of the intersections of moral philosophy with economics. The authors expertly combine accessibility with sophistication in analyzing topics ranging from foundational issues of welfare economics, rationality, game theory, and distributive justice to public policy problems such as pollution, school vouchers, health care, and unemployment. This is a superb book.' Elizabeth Anderson, University of Michigan, Ann ArborTable of Contents1. Ethics and economics?; 2. Ethics in welfare economics; 3.

Cambridge University Press Making Social Spending Work
Book SynopsisHow does social spending relate to economic growth and which countries have got this right and wrong? Peter H. Lindert provides a compelling global guide to public education, health care, pensions, and welfare provision, and links them to inequality and fiscal redistribution.Trade Review'It's hard to think of anyone who has had such a profound effect on the way we think about political economy. This remarkable book gives us all more to chew over. Peter Lindert continues to set the agenda.' James A. Robinson, co-author of Why Nations Fail'Surprise! There are free lunches. But they may be running out soon. Learn why they exist and threats on the horizon to the many benefits of generous social spending from Peter Lindert's informative and readable book.' Claudia Goldin, co-author of The Race between Education and Technology'Why do we have government-financed social spending? Why did it emerge rather late in human history? What has it accomplished? These are some of the fundamental questions that Peter Lindert asks in his monumental Making Social Spending Work. Lindert's study of education, health care, old-age spending around the world could not have been more timely: these issues are again at the forefront of the political agenda.' Branko Milanovic, author of Capitalism, Alone'A must read for anyone interested in promoting just and sustainable growth. With pristine clarity, Lindert explains why social spending has risen everywhere. Using history and solid empirical evidence he debunks myths about negative effects and proposes new policies to facilitate inclusive growth and design a new social contract.' Nora Lustig, editor of Commitment to Equity Handbook'A magisterial examination of the historical, economic and political forces shaping the Welfare State, from its incipient beginnings in Fifteenth Century Europe to the rise of conditional cash transfers in Latin America in the 1990s.

The University of Chicago Press Fair Not Flat How to Make the Tax System Better
Book SynopsisEveryone knows that the current tax system is unfair. Some of the richest people in America pay no tax, while a huge share of the tax burden falls on the rest of us. A mere glance at the tax code confirms that it is far too complex, with volumes of rules that no ordinary person could possibly comprehend. What is to be done? Some conservatives have called for a so-called flat tax. But a flat tax is not necessarily a simple tax, and flat means more for most taxpayers: a rise in middle-class taxes to finance tax cuts for the rich. Is there another choice? In clear, easy-to-understand language, Edward J. McCaffery proposes a straightforward and fair alternative. A fair not flat tax that is consistent and progressive would tax spending, not income and savings. And if it were collected at its lower levels through a national sales tax, most people would not have to file a return. A supplemental tax on spending for the wealthiest individuals would make the national sales tax progressive. Under

John Wiley & Sons Inc The Conscience of a Libertarian
Book SynopsisLibertarian-conservative solutions to the political, social, economic and tax issues facing the United States from a 2012 Third Party Presidential contender, as well as one of America''s leading Tea Party political leaders In today''s uncertain economy, people are growing more and more concerned about their financial future, and looking for common sense, limited government solutions. In The Conscience of a Libertarian: Empowering the Citizen Revolution with God, Guns, Gold & Tax Cuts, 2008 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee Wayne Allyn Root presents a passionate case for smaller government; dramatically reduced spending and taxes; States'' Rights; free markets; adherence to the Constitution; an end to the Fed; a ban of bailouts, stimulus, earmarks, pork and corporate welfare; economic and personal freedom; and a return of power to the people, just as the Founding Fathers intended. The book Explains why Obama''s big government solutions areTrade Review"In your heart, you know he's right. Channeling Barry Goldwater for a modern audience, Root does a great job of adapting his mentor's classic for 21st century America. My guess is that the principles of Goldwater, shepherded by Root, will be a benchmark for reform in this age of political and economic crisis." —-Peter Schiff, President, Euro Pacific Capital, Author of Best-Seller "Crash Proof" "Root takes no prisoners, leaves no doubt how the disaster came to be; Root names-names but blames both Democrat and Republican administrations for over-spending, inflating the size and reach of government and creating a welfare state that is a form of slavery even as it continues to bleed taxpayers. Root has solutions. To me, he's the only candidate who's articulate, powerful in presentation, and RIGHT. He presents his views with vigor and clarity on every occasion. He comes across great because he speaks truth from the heart, of America, to America, for America." — Dr. John Hospers, First Libertarian United States Presidential Candidate; Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Southern California "Wayne Allyn Root (WAR) means business. In "The Conscience of a Libertarian," he is declaring WAR on big government, big spending, big taxes, big unions, big business, arrogant career politicians, lawyers, lobbyists, and the media elite. What a refreshing change to read the words and ideas of a small businessman, homeschool dad, son of a butcher, and citizen statesman. This book is a must read for libertarians, conservatives, disillusioned Republicans, independents, and anyone who wants to cut the size and scope of government dramatically, and return power to individuals. Instead of just criticisms, Wayne provides common-sense solutions for limited government, economic and personal freedom, and protecting our Constitution. I can feel our Founding Fathers looking down and smiling." —-Judge Andrew P.

The authors offer a well written text and an easy-to-digest introduction into the difficult terminology of accounting and into its basic concepts. All major issues of public accounting are presented and illustrated with a broad selection of practical cases from various countries. This book can certainly serve as basic textbook for public financial management courses at undergraduate and graduate level.' Christoph Reichard, University of Potsdam, Germany 'Financial considerations underpin public sector activity, especially in times of austerity. Even when resources are less constrained, competing alternatives have to be weighed and consideration must always be given to value for money. Accounting and budgeting are effectively the language which structures decisions relating to resource allocation and should be understood by those who participate in the process. Accountants, by definition, are well versed in the activity, but it is important that others also understand at least the fundamentals. This book provides non-specialists with access to such knowledge. As might be gathered from the title, the book deals comprehensively with straightforward accounting and budgeting. It does this in a lucid way supported by many worked examples. It also goes further by including consideration of the important aspects of public sector auditing and concludes with some useful reflections on financial management reform in the public sector.' Howard Mellett, Cardiff University, UK 'This book contextualises public sector accounting tools into the broader aspects of New Public Management ideals. It will be an invaluable guide to students, researchers and practitioners involved in understanding accounting, budgeting and performance measurement in today's changing public sector environment.' Zahirul Hoque, La Trobe University, Australia 'This is a readable book on accounting and budgeting for non-specialists with easy examples and clear cases.
