Az adórendszer szerepe a szegénység és az egyenlőtlenségek csökkentésében – Adrian Sinfield előadása

Tackling poverty and inequality through taxation

Abstract >>
While there is constant examination and debate of the costs and impact of public expenditure, the many ways in which policies are run through the tax system have been much neglected. What can we learn from similar scrutiny of tax expenditure and its impact on the distribution of resources throughout society? What strategies can contribute to socially inclusive development that helps to prevent poverty and contain inequalities?
