The Myth of Ownership: Taxes and Justice
 |
|
Описание:
In a capitalist economy, taxes are the most important instrument by which the political system puts into practice a conception of economic and distributive justice. Taxes arouse strong passions, fueled not only by conflicts of economic self-interest, butby conflicting ideas of fairness. Taking as a guiding principle the conventional nature of private property, Murphy and Nagel show how taxes can only be evaluated as part of the overall system of property rights that they help to create. Justice or injstice in taxation, they argue, can only mean justice or injustice in the system of propertyrights and entitlements that result from a particular regime. Taking up ethical issues about individual liberty, interpersonal obligation, and both collective ad personal responsibility, Murphy and Nagel force us to reconsider how our tax policy shapes our system of property rights.Похожие книги
