I was musing on economic objectives over coffee with an iPad. This was the outcome. Treat it as a sketch of some ideas:
The usual rules apply: double click the image and then double click the one on the page that then opens to get a much larger version.

Hi Richard,
Have you considered setting up a Tax Research UK Facebook page for people to follow, like & share, perhaps making it easier to to get more people discovering your work? (A Facebook search shows me that you had one a few years ago but it hasn’t been updated since 2012?)
I find Facebook incomprehensible
And there is only so much I can manage to do
You can share Richard’s articles using the “share” button at the bottom of the article. This has the dual benefit of spreading the word and increasing traffic to this site, where the diligent could learn even more! 🙂
Thank you
I have been doing that, but I thought a Facebook page would increase the number of people who regularly see new posts
Was the ipad make or female and was it qualified to pedagogically debate the issue ?
🙂
A few semi-randomthoughts.
I’m not sure GDP is a very good measure of real economic activity we need to develop a better one – you clearly are in agreement
Economists and Cancer Cells are among the few entities who think exponential growth is eternally sustainable. Thee is a fixation with growth rate.
I would like some fairness measure such as the Gini coefficient to be an economic objective; reducing this is important.
People need to feel “valued” this is a major part of well being.
Inclusiveness is also important
I hope I reflected those points – if not they would be clear if there was ever to be a development of this into so thing more substantial
What about taking a relational approach to economics and emphasising the value of unpaid care ( housework as well as caring for family members with ill health)? https://opendocs.ids.ac.uk/opendocs/bitstream/handle/123456789/3674/Bellagio-Eyben%20and%20Fontana.pdf?sequence=1.
Any attempt to reimagine the economy and policy objectives must be informed by the work of feminist economics whose views have been excluded because of structural bias inherent in economic policymaking.
Clearly so. I hope I addressed this in my thinking in The Courageous State, but I suspect I would need to do more
