After quite a lot of agonising over the last few weeks, the eagle-eyed will note that the blog got its new title this morning.
I will remain attached to Tax Research UK for a long time to come, and my LLP will remain with that name, and will continue to publish this blog. However, that name really does not describe what much of this blog is about now. It is instead, quite literally, about funding the future. The focus is on how we pay for the society we want. I think funding the future describes that quest.
If after a few weeks there is no adverse reaction to the new name the internet address might be changed. However, that will require no action on anyone's part when it happens: all addresses will continue to work.
And, most importantly, publication will continue as before. Doing that is my contribution to getting the funding for the future that we want.
Thanks for reading this post.

By strange coincidence I came across this today. Another blog that sings from the same hymn sheet.

Did you know about this?

Yes
I don’t think there is any risk of confusion
The name is good. But something about ‘how we pay for a[n]…economy’ seems not quite right to me. Perhaps wrongly, basically I don’t think of ‘an economy’ as something we pay for. I guess it does recognise the ‘how do we pay for … ?” issue, perhaps to the point of reinforcing the conventional view of it. Would a simplification on the lines of “Richard Murphy on (?developing / achieving ?) a fairer and sustainable economy” work ?
I will think about this
Other sites have you new name BTW.
I can live with it – I know your site’s content and that’s the crucial thing for me.
Wishing you good luck.
