    The Case for Decentralisation

    by Philip Booth ...

  • Catholic Social Thought, the Market and Public Policy

    Edited by Philip Booth, André Azevedo Alves ...
    The last few decades have seen huge reductions in global poverty; improvements in education and healthcare; and, perhaps surprisingly to some, dramatic reductions in global inequality. We now seem to be entering a different era. Economic progress in richer countries seems to have stalled – not least because of the onset of what Pope Francis has described as the ‘demographic winter’. Even more ... Read more

    by Philip Booth, Ryan Bourne, Rory Meakin, Lucy Minford, Patrick Minford, David B. Smith ...
    Amidst the debates about ‘austerity’ a number of vital debates in public finance have been sidelined. Because the reductions in government spending – small though they have been so far- have been designed to reduce the government’s borrowing requirement, there has been little discussion of whether the size of the state should be reduced in order to facilitate long-run reductions in the burden of ...
