I have a new academic journal paper out with Prof Andrew Baker of the University of Sheffield:
‘Reglobalization' requires global governance mechanisms that can promote norm and normative change constitutive of a ‘post-neoliberal order'. Mitigating the race to the bottom in taxation, which can harm public provision and social mobility, is a specific challenge requiring the creation of new tools. This requires going beyond the current reporting tools of global tax governance to focus more systematically on government policies. We develop a political case for conducting assessments of a phenomenon known as ‘tax spillovers'. These are harmful impacts one country's tax policies have on other countries, that can also undermine the redistributive capacity of the home tax system. We identify five enabling conditions that give tax spillover assessments political salience, traction and feasibility. Devising and theorizing policy tools that are politically feasible is a pressing task for the reglobalization project that is deserving of scholarly, as well as practitioner, attention.
Thanks for reading this post.

It looks like I can access it through there, but I’m not sure if that’s my work sign-in allowing access.
Would love to know if it works 🙂
It worked for me – I’ve got it, and got as far as thinking, this looks heavy going… well, it did come with a warning that it was a real academic journal, so I can’t say I wasn’t warned.
You can tell which one of Andrew and I do the first draft of pieces
He started this one…
Our styles are different but he’s a great guy to work with
That first sentence is amazing, and welcomingly brief. I thought Paul Mason had written the single most amazing sentence using the english language when he wrote “By neoliberalism I mean the global capitalist system shaped around a core of neoliberal practices and institutions, themselves guided by a widespread and spontaneously reproduced ideology, and ruled by an elite which acts in a neoliberal way, whatever conflciting and moderating ideas it holds in its head.”
But Mr Murphy and Professor Baker have edged ahead. Well done them.
That was Andrew….
I know that one was not mine
As I’ve said in an earlier comment, Andrew and I bash the ideas first, then one of us does the first draft, and other edits and bashes it around, we polish and only then does it go in
This one was refined on peer review as well, a bit
And to be correct, if he’s Prof on this then so am I
I only use it as an academic though….never otherwise. Then it’s just my job title
