Bent Greve

Abstract: This insightful Concise Introduction provides an overview of welfare state financing, discussing how different instruments influence individuals’ and companies’ behaviour, the level of state income, as well as willingness to pay taxes and duties. Bent Greve explores the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, including potential conflicts arising between employment, inequality, climate change and unhealthy behaviour.
