Sommario/riassunto |
|
Governments have become an integral part of economics in modern societies. The extent of government involvement is not limited to legislation, foreign policy, or law and order. Governments intervene in economic affairs by collecting taxes and spending what they collect. The amount of taxes and who pays them, as well as the amount of government expenditures and who receives them, has a significant impact on income distribution. However, the main focus of the study of fiscal policy is on the overall economic impact of government involvement in the economy, instead of its distributional effects. While we know that when a person is taxed his or her utility is reduced, and when someone receives a payment, either because of selling something to the government or in the form of transfer payment, that person's utility increases. However, economic theory is not able to determine what happens to social utility when one person is taxed and another person receives the government payment. By not addressing the utility |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The expert contributors to this volume tell how state laws and policies have stacked the deck against charter schools by limiting the number of charter schools allowed in a state, forbidding for-profit firms from |

holding charters, forcing them to pay rent out of operating funds, and other ways. They explain how these policies can be amended to level the playing field and give charter schools?and the children they serve?a fairer chance to succeed. |
