2009TAX: Transparency and channels

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Transparency and channels

Yes, I will begin from the conclusions of this series- before presenting the third part of the “what if” section- the Hitchcock’s way.

If you read the previous two articles in this series, you probably you understood what is the missing part in my “what if”.

We saw the technological infrastructure (i.e. what is available), the possible guidelines for introducing a streamlining and (increased) intergenerational fairness (i.e. the policy, or “strategy outline”, if you prefer).

In this third part, surprise surprise, I will merge the “how” and the “who”.

The articles in this series, TAX2009 (either 500 or 1000 words long), will start with some “what if” brainstorming around the consequences of current technological and social trends, and then use the same prism to analyse current events.

In December 2009, the articles will be mainly of the “what if”/brainstorming variety.

As usual: if you have any comments, contact me on Twitter or on Facebook.

Enjoy!

2009TAX: Time, space, taxation, bureaucracy

Monday, December 14th, 2009

No taxation without representation.

But is our tax system really complying with that basic right?

Or are we taxing people who have no voice into how the money is spent?

Of course, I am referring to transnational taxation, a.k.a. pollution and other physical/financial practices, but also to the debt burden that we are bestowing on future generations to pay for our current needs.
