This is the first book to give a collective treatment of philosophical issues relating to tax. The tax system is central to the operation of states and to the ways in which states interact with individual citizens. Taxes are used by states to fund the provision of public goods and public services, to engage in direct or indirect forms of redistribution, and to mould the behaviour of individual citizens. As the contributors to this volume show, there are a number of pressing and thorny philosophical issues relating to the tax system, and these issues often connect in fascinating ways with foundational questions regarding property rights, public justification, democracy, state neutrality, stability, political psychology, and other moral and political issues. Many of these deep and fascinating philosophical questions about tax have not received as much sustained attention as they clearly merit. The aim of advancing the debate about tax in political philosophy has both general and more specific aspects, ranging across both over-arching issues regarding the tax system as a whole and more specific issues relating to particular forms of tax policy. Thinking clearly about tax is not an easy task, as much that is of central importance is missed if one proceeds at too great a level of abstraction, and issues of conceptual and normative importance often only come sharply into focus when viewed against real-world questions of implementation and feasibility. Serious philosophical work on the tax system will often therefore need to be interdisciplinary, and so the discussion in this book includes a number of scholars whose expertise spans across neighbouring disciplines to philosophy, including political science, economics, public policy, and law.

Our broken economic model drives inequality and disempowerment, lining the pockets of corporations while extracting wealth from local communities. How can we reverse this? Joe Guinan and Martin O’Neill argue for an approach that uses the power of democratic participation to drive equitable development and ensure that wealth is widely shared. They show how this model – Community Wealth Building – can transform our economic system by creating a web of collaborative institutions, from worker cooperatives to community land trusts and public banks, that empower and enrich the many, not the few.This book is essential reading for everyone interested in building more equal, inclusive, and democratic societies.

Improving health in populations in which health is poor is a complex process. This book argues that the traditional government approach of exhorting individuals to live healthier lifestyles is not enough - action to promote public health needs to take place not just through public agencies, but also by engaging community assets and resources in their broadest sense.
The book reports lessons from the experience of planning, establishing and delivering such action by the five-year Sustainable Health Action Research Programme (SHARP) in Wales. It critically examines the experience of SHARP in relation to current literature on policy; community health and health inequalities; and action research. The authors make clear how this regional development has produced opportunities for developing general concepts and theory about community-based policy developments that are relevant across national boundaries and show that complex and sustained community action, and effective local partnership, are fundamental components of the mix of factors required to address health inequalities successfully.
The book concludes by indicating the connections between SHARP and earlier traditions of community-based action, and by arguing that we need to be bolder in our approaches to community-based health improvement and more flexible in our understanding of the ways in which knowledge and inform developments in health policy.
The book will be of interest to practitioners and activists working in community-based projects; students in community development, health studies and medical sociology; professionals working in health promotion, community nursing and allied areas; and policy makers working at local, regional and national levels.

Varför är det viktigt med jämlikhet? Spelar det roll hur mycket vi har i förhållande till andra? Många har hävdat att det i själva verket är andra saker som är värdefulla och att det är missriktat att sträva efter jämlikhet. I denna bok går Martin O’Neill igenom de centrala egalitära uppfattningarna och formulerar ett starkt argument för att egalitarismen faktiskt är en fruktbar uppfattning. O’Neills genomgång hjälper oss att förstå hur, när och varför jämlikhet spelar roll. Och detta genom noggrann begreppsutredning och analytisk filosofi. Att förstå är ett nödvändigt första steg för att kunna driva på verklig förändring och att påverka sin omgivning. På så sätt fyller O’Neills lilla bok en viktig funktion. Martin O’Neill (1975) är professor i politisk filosofi på universitetet i York. Han har en doktorsexamen från Harvard, och bland hans publikationer märks "Property-Owning Democracy: Rawls and Beyond" (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012, redigerad tillsammans med Thad Williamson), och "The Case for Community Wealth Building" (Polity, 2019, tillsammans med Joe Guinan).
