''The Silver Bullet is brilliant!'' --Dr Mason Gaffney, Professor of Economics, University of California
Fred Harrison emphasises that ''Government's taxes...are a covert way of redistributing income from the poor to the rich''. I needn't spell out here Harrison's explanation of how that works, but it is clear and it is important to understand it....Intelligent, active people [need] to give serious attention to the book's case. --James Robertson, co-founder of the New Economics Foundation (Land&Liberty 1221, Spring 2008)
Product Description
Face it. The world is no closer to consigning poverty to history. Why is there still poverty from whole countries of the poor South, to the back streets, slums and trailer parks of the rich West? The good intentions, the money, the rhetoric, the pity and the media histrionics are but pinpricks to a world-rampaging monster. They say there is no silver bullet. Neither Geldof or Bono, nor the United Nations, nor the vast assembled hosts of international aid and development agencies have the answer. Doesn t every citizen of the world have an equal right to the good life? With so much wealth in the world, why are so many of us so poor, when we could rid ourselves of this monster? And the fact is, there is only one way to kill poverty...
