It discusses various approaches to taxation and presents a framework for a system which would affect both personal income and the social security system, replacing the one by a flat-rate income tax and the other by a guaranteed income. The idea has generated wide interest in a number of countries, and is being actively discussed by a number of political groups. This book explains how these changes would benefit a wide variety of social groups, but asks how a single reform can meet the very different objectives of different supporters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47781114216599,"sku":"9780198292166","price":6212.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198292166.webp?v=1778050681","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/public-economics-in-action-the-basic-income-flat-tax-proposal-9780198292166","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
