Getting to a Wealthier and Fairer Scotland -- References -- IndexThe ambition of the Scottish Government is to create a wealthier and fairer nation. Following the devolution acts of 1998, 2012 and 2016, it has extensive powers and resources to fulfill its ambition. This interdisciplinary collection of essays asks how it can be achieved, given the range of powers available, economic constraints, institutions and public support. Looking at economic policy, taxation and welfare, it provides a realistic analysis of the opportunities and constraints facing a small, devolved nation. After years of debate on what powers Scotland should have, this book examines how they might be used to shape the country's future.POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & WelfarebisacshScotlandEconomic conditionsScotlandSocial conditionsPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Services & Welfare.320.9411Keating Michael, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut265705Keating Michael1950-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910792840003321A wealthier, fairer Scotland3837828UNINA
