Using synthetic epistemological model with axiological framework, it is revealed that tax reduction is good policy when tax rate is lower than normal, and that tax increase is good policy when tax rate is higher than normal, during economic overheat. Meanwhile, it is found that tax reduction is good policy when tax rate is higher than normal and that tax increase is good policy when tax rate is lower than normal, during economic depression. Around two economic issues: 1) how to distribute social wealth between rich agents and poor ones, as well as nations and enterprises? 2) how to maintain social justice via making balance between equality and efficiency? It is suggested to apply elastic tax system towards the axiological good in social economy.

In the face of so many taxes that Brazilians are obliged to pay and several times taxes that are not understood by ninety percent of the population, much is said about a tax reform that promises to transform many taxes into a single tax that will be collected throughout the country. country, therefore, simplifying the lives of thousands of Brazilians and companies that suffer from the collection of so many taxes. But will a change in the National Tax Code really bring benefits to society and companies? What will be its advantages and disadvantages in the face of the economic scenario we are experiencing today? It is also worth remembering that a real correction of existing distortions is necessary for the principles of equity and social justice to act. These are the questions proposed for reflection in this work, when dealing with the Brazilian tax system and its much-promised reform that aims to make it easier to understand what we really pay for our purchases and services.

AbstractIn Germany, the current situation of local government finance is still worrying. Up to now, all political attempts to reform the German local tax system fundamentally led to no satisfying result. For this reason, new reform initiatives gain particular attention in scientific and political discussion. Against this background, the paper examines the proposal for reform of the existing local tax system presented by Stiftung Marktwirtschaft. By highlighting public finance characteristics of economically reasonable local government finances as well as public choice characteristics of a politically successful reform, it will be shown that within some small but important modifications the proposal of Stiftung Marktwirtschaft is in a position to solve local government finance problems in a durable manner. This result is consecuted by an empirical simulation of the fiscal effects for all German local authorities. The fiscal simulation demonstrates that more then ninety percent of German cities and municipalities will gain from a political implementation of the proposal for reform.

Purpose This paper aims to describe cooperation between public and private market players from different legal and religious orders. The author argues that such public–private partnerships (PPPs) enable the development of a possible convergence between selected areas of mainstream public finance and the Islamic moral economy (IME). Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the theory of both mainstream finance and the IME, and using deductive reasoning from axioms, develops the assumptions of a theoretical approach to heterodox PPP. The proposed method affects the ability to find common platforms between mainstream public finance and the IME, through the example of public–private investment projects. Findings This endeavour is subject to trade-offs between profit maximisation and social justice values on the basis of long-term PPP contracts. The author shows the assumptions under which this compromise would be beneficial to public entities, multicultural societies and conventional and Islamic investors. It is proposed to distribute profit to the owners up to a predetermined value, above which the PPPs would finance public services for persons otherwise excluded from them. Originality/value The success of this approach must depend on a compromise between profit maximisation as the sole investment objective and investment guided by social justice values. Private investors can achieve a capped level of profit on a long-term contract basis, and public partners can obtain long-term contracts for providing public goods. Both would undertake a project with a strong emphasis on corporate social responsibility, with particularly large opportunities in developing Islamic countries.

Abstract Research on the impact of gameful experiences on the automation of labour and value creation is in need of a critical reformulation. The results presented in this study developed from a critical reading of the current literature on gamification and its internal struggles. I question what the gamification of work is, this time including knowledge collected by decades of academic research in the field of digital cultures and society, converging in a diverse yet attuned corpus of neomaterialist, post-anthropocentric, anti-Humanist, and intersectional theories of politics, algorithmic cultures and social justice (see Braidotti/ Hlavajova 2017). Findings suggest the experimental development of gamification technologies materializes from an interest in governance through the automation of behavioural management, resulting in the forced correction of non-normative bodies through self-optimization. Beyond colonial, anthropocentric binaries, gamification’s genealogy is not found in the overcoming of the Eurocentric distinction between work and games, but in the algorithmic architecture of techno-capitalism.

Father Charles Coughlin was an influential American Catholic priest who became famous for his controversial but extremely popular radio program, which aired from October 1926 to September 1940. Coughlin’s program was mainly devoted to political and economic issues such as the plight of the American worker, the need for nativist nationalism, and the growing threat of Jewish bankers and communism. He supported Franklin D. Roosevelt during the 1932 presidential election but later turned against Roosevelt administration policies enacted during the Great Depression, which he felt were too generous to big capitalists. In 1934, Coughlin promoted the creation of the National Union for Social Justice (NUSJ), which he based on Catholic social justice principles intended to protect the rights of workers. After Kristallnacht in 1938, some major radio stations began to cancel Coughlin’s programs due to his increasing sympathy for Nazism and anti-Semitism. With the beginning of WWII in 1939, new licensing restrictions imposed by the Roosevelt administration and changes within the Catholic Church pushed Coughlin off the air. He was increasingly marginalized following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Abstract This article presents the first part of a larger research intended to study the role of Luigi Einaudi as Public Finance scientist.In particular, this writing takes into consideration four essays by Einaudi published between 1912 and 1929 and having as main subject the effects of taxation on individual savings. The unachieved intent of Luigi Einaudi was the one of discovering a logically consistent tax system whose main characteristic should have been «neutrality*. The argument of the so-called «double taxation of savings” was considered by Einaudi as a clear demonstration of the lack of neutrality of the income tax.
