Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - We Americans are engaged in an ideological struggle to decide whether we will remain a nation committed to the principles of individual freedom and self reliance or be transformed into an European style of socialism.Westin believes too many Americans are either to busy or disinterested to take the time to study the issues and gather the information needed to make intelligent decisions. Instead they allow themselves to be influenced by the diatribe spewed by late night talk show hosts, TV and radio political pundits, biased politicians and other celebrities.Don't be fooled by the small size of I'm Not a Celebrity. It provides a mini encyclopedia of information behind the most important headline issues confronting our nation. It is packed between autobiographic bookends establishing Westin's credibility as a senior citizen and presenting his example of what it takes to achieve the American Dream.Westin reminds us that history teaches that the decline of free democratic societies begins with the deterioration of social morality. If America is to remain the leader of the free world, each of us, regardless of political, racial, ethnic or religious affiliation, must take it upon ourselves to live moral lives and challenge those who turn their backs on common decency. If we don't, the freedoms we have enjoyed will be lost. He hopes that by reading I'm Not a Celebrity, you will be moved to action.

Hardback. Condition: New. This book brings together the work of scholars from England, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United States to examine the ways in which industrialized nations have used and are developing tax laws to help alleviate environmental problems. For each country, the contributors offer a thorough review of existing and proposed initiatives and an in-depth evaluation of their effectiveness. They also discuss the theoretical framework behind environmental tax initiatives, explain alternative systems to taxation, reveal problems in dealing with environmental concerns that are common to all of the countries studied, and suggest ways to more efficiently coordinate tax and environmental policies. Based on their research, the contributors conclude that the general tax systems of the United States and other countries unintentionally conflict with environmental policies and that no country has yet been able to adequately control automobile pollution, although some have had varying degrees of success in other areas.The volume begins with an introduction that presents a nontechnical discussion of the current economic thinking on environmental taxes and alternatives such as direct government regulation and granting polluters limited or tradable rights to pollute. The following chapters discuss each country in turn. Each chapter first examines the institutional framework of the country--central versus regional government, how legislation is enacted and executed, the distribution of authority over environmental matters, and important environmental policy goals. Next, the compatability of the tax system with environmental goals is analyzed. Finally, there is a thorough treatment of that country's environmental tax initiatives, including an in-depth assessment of their relative success or failure. Policymakers, lobbyists, economists, and attorneys will find Taxation for Environmental Protection enlightening reading.
