Paperback. Condition: New. You pay higher taxes and in return the state takes care of you from cradle to grave. This was the promise that brought welfare states into existence across the world in the 20th century. But do high-tax welfare states really offer good value for money? In this groundbreaking new book Stefan Fölster and Dr Nima Sanandaji present a powerful and controversial argument: that ever more tax and spend might not actually lead to higher social welfare. Based on thorough research and data from dozens of countries this book demonstrates that in everything from education to life expectancy, from hospital beds to unemployment it is low-tax countries like Switzerland and Japan that now offer their citizens the world's best welfare. Meanwhile, high-tax countries - including the authors' native Sweden - have steadily slipped down international league tables. This book takes a measured and evidence-based approach, rooted in real world data rather than well-meaning theories or utopian visions. Sanandaji and Fölster find that all too often high-tax countries treat the symptoms of poverty without addressing the underlying causes, leaving problems to fester and inefficiencies to multiply. This is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the role and limits of the state in the 21st century.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 1st ed. 2015. We have spent the last three decades engaged in a pointless and irrelevant debate about the relative merits of privatization or nationalization. We have been arguing about the wrong thing while sitting on a goldmine of assets.Don't worry about who owns those assets, worry about whether they are managed effectively.Why does this matter? Because despite the Thatcher/ Reagan economic revolution, the largest pool of wealth in the world - a global total that is much larger than the world's total pensions savings, and ten times the total of all the sovereign wealth funds on the planet - is still comprised of commercial assets that are held in public ownership. If professionally managed, they could generate an annual yield of 2.7 trillion dollars, more than current global spending on infrastructure: transport, power, water, and communications. Based on both economic research and hands-on experience from many countries, the authors argue that publicly owned commercial assets need to be taken out of the direct and distorting control of politicians and placed under professional management in a 'National Wealth Fund' or its local government equivalent. Such a move would trigger much-needed structural reforms in national economies, thus resurrect strained government finances, bolster ailing economic growth, and improve the fabric of democratic institutions. This radical, reforming book was named one of the "Books of the Year".by both the FT and The Economist.…
