Einkommensteuertarife sind überwiegend direkt progressiv ausgestaltet. Gleichwohl sind progressive Einkommensteuertarife nicht unumstritten. Nachdem frühe Begründungen mithilfe so genannter Opfertheorien kritisiert wurden und infolgedessen heute kaum akzeptiert sind, werden progressive Tarife in den Steuerwissenschaften lediglich aus der Perspektive des gesellschaftlichen Ziels der Umverteilung als begründet angesehen. In dem vorliegenden Buch wird deshalb untersucht, ob sich progressive Einkommensteuertarife aus Perspektive des Ziels Gleichmäßigkeit der Besteuerung ökonomisch begründen lassen. Dabei wird auf eine politisch-kulturelle Markttheorie zurückgegriffen.

The beautiful game is big business. Football leagues worldwide are being dominated by clubs which are becoming richer and more powerful. Since the first edition of this book was published in 2003, much has changed in the industry. However the central challenge remains how best football, its leagues and clubs can navigate a path between the logic of the market and the logic of community (social), while also remaining focused on a sporting logic.In this second edition, author Stephen Morrow offers a critique of football¿s economic structure, prevalent models of club ownership and governance, and new approaches to regulation that have emerged. The book also reflects on the Covid-19 pandemic and on ways in which it has illuminated many of the structural weaknesses inherent in football. It also offers an insight into the woman¿s game and its financial development in some countries, as well discussing issues such as football¿s response to environmental challenges.Drawing on theory and new literature from across relevant academic disciplines, this book seeks to make sense of the current challenges while also putting forward solutions as to how football can continue to harness and build on its social and community significance.

'There is no author whose books I look forward to more' BILL GATESIn this ambitious, myth-busting book, leading scientist and internationally bestselling author Vaclav Smil investigates many of the burning questions facing the world today:Why are some of the world's biggest food producers also the countries with the most undernourished populations?Why is food waste a colossal 1,000kcal per person daily, and how can we solve that?Could we all go vegan and be healthy? Should we?How will we feed the ballooning population without killing the planet?How Food Really Works shows how we misunderstand the essentials of where our food really comes from, how our dietary requirements shape us, and why this impacts our planet in drastic ways. Ultimately, this data-based, rigorously researched guide explains how we will survive and thrive long into the future.'There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' GUARDIAN

A veteran Wall Street Journal reporter dives into the world of billion-dollar traders and high-stakes crisis predictors who strive to turn extreme events into financial windfalls. There's no doubt that our world has gotten more extreme. Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, technological disruption, political radicalisation, religious fundamentalism - all threaten chaos that put trillions in assets at risk. But around the world, across a wide variety of disciplines, would-be super-forecasters are trying to take the guesswork out of what formerly seemed like random chance. Some put their faith in 'black swans' - unpredictable, catastrophic events that can't be foreseen but send exotic financial instruments screaming in high-profit directions. Most famous among this group of big-bet traders are those who run the Universa fund, who, on days of extreme upheaval, have made as much as $1 billion.Author Scott Patterson gained exclusive access to Universa strategists and met with savvy seers in a variety of fields, from earthquake prediction to counterterrorism to climatology, to see if it's actually possible to bet on disaster - and win. Riveting, relevant, and revelatory, this is a must-read for anyone curious about how some of today's investors alchemise catastrophe into profit.

Just imagine that your home is not just on land but also in the sea and in the sky. Self-driving cars, without driver are not only move on roads but also fly in the sky. Your personal, intimate space is not just on the computer screen but projected on any material or even on empty space, and it may not be so far-fetched that you can expect a healthy life for thousands of years. Does it sound like exaggeration? But when it comes directly in the near future, it shouldn't be surprising. Because all over the world, scientists are constantly achieving success in one or more experiments. The current era is different from the era of information. The production of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data occurs every day. The data being generated every day is so vast that 90% of the data in the world has been created only in the past decade. Thanks to the impact of big data, research has accelerated, helping us get closer to the goal in no time. Under the Meta Connectivity program, solar-powered internet planes, followed by instant 3D-printed medicine capsules placed on the tongue to stop bleeding within just 12 seconds during a serious accident or warfare, are now a reality. In addition, 3D-printed medicine capsules, placed on the tongue, instantly dissolve, preventing blood flow of 3,000 liters in 1 minute during flood conditions, cement that absorbs human urine to produce clean water and energy generation, and research to change the necessary genes in DNA have been successful, allowing new codes to be created in place of codes that do not exist in the genome. The development of Ebola disease prevention vaccines, disease prevention drugs, and planes that will change in the car are now the subject of everyone's discussion, with research on computer manufacturing at just ¿500.

What is wind energy?Wind energy is a form of renewable energy that uses the movement of air to generate electricity. Wind is a powerful energy source that is available all over the world. Using wind energy to generate electricity is a clean and renewable method that helps to reduce air pollution.How does wind energy work?To generate electricity using wind energy, wind turbines are used. Wind turbines can use a wide range of wind speeds, from a powerful storm to light breezes.Wind turbines consist of two or more blades mounted on a tower. The wind causes the blades to turn, which drives a generator. The generator produces electricity.Wind turbines can typically generate enough electricity to meet the energy needs of a village or town. They can also be used to provide electricity to large power grids.Benefits of wind energyWind energy has many benefits. It is a clean and renewable method that helps to reduce air pollution. Wind energy is also an efficient method that uses less energy than other forms of fuel.Drawbacks of wind energyWind energy also has some drawbacks. It is a variable source of energy, meaning that the amount of electricity it produces can fluctuate depending on the wind conditions. Wind energy can also be noisy and visually intrusive.

This book aims to investigate the global value chain (GVC) from a viewpoint of industrial development and examine how GVC participation, upgrading, and connectivity have affected structural transformation in developing economies. It first reviews the indexes to measure progresses in GVC participation and upgrading. Then it examines factors affecting these progresses, using original measures of connectivity, which are computed based on the complex network theory. Another distinguished feature of the study is its in-depth analyses on the relationship between economic development and GVC participation based on the hypothesis of nonlinear relationship which is drawn from authors past studies on Asian economies. Major findings include (1) inverted-U shaped relationship between backward participation and income levels, (2) U shaped relationship between forward participation and income level, (3) marginal but significant impacts of maritime and aviation connectivity on GVC participation, (4) significant and different roles of basic and advanced education on the upgrading in GVCs, and (5) the importance of technological intensities in export in sustaining economic growth.

This Compendium was conceived as a ¿pocket compass¿, a practical guide that may help readers to orientate themselves while they explore global affairs and attempt to make sense of the highly interconnected, multidimensional challenges of contemporary human development. The book is intended to be an accessible, concise, yet comprehensive reference for anyone who hopes to better understand today¿s world and its dramatic complexity. The aim is to highlight a relevant selection of the demographic, socio-economic, geo-political, and environmental macro-dynamics that define our time, and to explore in a practical way the indicators that can be used to monitor their evolution over time.  In general, this project stems from the need to apply ¿systemic thinking¿ to the study of the world and to develop a holistic perspective that can bridge the gap that for too long has existed across academic disciplines and their respective focuses. The macro-trends featured in the book shed light, in particular, on the change that has been occurring over time in the vast Global South ¿ a portion of the globe that accounts for over 80% of the world¿s total population. The book¿s ultimate ¿ although not exclusive ¿ target audience is undoubtedly composed of undergraduate students of subjects such as political science, international affairs, international development, human geography and the like. In addition, the Compendium may benefit professionals in both public and private organisations as well as members of the general public seeking to acquire "global development literacy" in manners that are academically sound, but also accessible and concise.

This book is novel in that it reveals significant issues of economics, management and business fields currently observed in network industries such as public utilities and transportation, and provides empirical evidence of their mechanisms and policy implications from various perspectives. This is a holistic collection of literature on public utilities economics and management, since the industries discussed include a wide range such as electricity, water supply, sewerage, transport, and postal service, which compound social infrastructure as public benefit service, and the issues examined contain not only economics topics such as cost, efficiency, and productivity, but also management topics such as governance, strategy and organizational restructuring. The book also investigates general private companies to derive future implications for policy and governance of public utilities, and covers multiple countries such as Japan, the US, and Vietnam. It demonstrates various empirical approaches and methodologies for public utility analysis through 17 chapters by experts in each field, which contributes to further cultivation of empirical studies in public utilities.

This volume is a valuable source of ACT information for developing holistic research methods and global policies for making progress towards the SDGs.
