Our Elgar Concise Introductions are inspiring and considered. They explain the key principles in business and social science and are expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars. The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential concepts and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking.

This insightful Concise Introduction provides an overview of welfare state financing, discussing how different instruments influence individuals’ and companies’ behaviour, the level of state income, as well as willingness to pay taxes and duties. Bent Greve explores the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, including potential conflicts arising from employment status, inequality, climate change and unhealthy behaviour.

Key Features:

Provides an accessible introduction on how to finance welfare states
Explores the national and international impact of taxes and duties in financing expenditures
Examines the direct and indirect influence of welfare state financing on allocation, distribution and macroeconomic stabilisation

The Concise Introduction to Financing Welfare States is an essential resource for students and scholars of social policy, sociology, political science, economics and finance. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners in the welfare sector and public finance.
