Taxing work and investment across legal forms: Pathways to well-designed taxes
The parts of the UK tax system that dictate how different forms of income are taxed are of central importance and are not fit for purpose. There is a large, unjustified and problematic bias against employment and labour incomes and in favour of business ownership and capital incomes. The tax treatment of returns to investment is a mess: incentives vary depending on the asset type, source of finance and legal structure involved and range from larg…
Redistribution, work incentives and thirty years of UK tax and benefit reform
Governments wishing to reduce inequality by redistributing money from the rich to the poor face the dilemma that in doing so (by increasing tax rates and means-tested benefits, for example) they reduce the incentive for individuals to increase their incomes. Policy-makers have tried to balance these objectives in different ways and, partly as a result of this, the tax and benefit system today is very different from the one that existed thirty yea…
The poverty trade-off: Work incentives and income redistribution in Britain
Can we reconcile the conflict between policies to help people on low incomes by providing direct financial support and those which encourage them to earn more? Two of the strategies used by governments to help people on low incomes – providing direct financial support and encouraging them to earn more – generally conflict. Drawing on large-scale survey data from thousands of individuals and families spanning the last 26 years, this report from th…
Summary of papers presented at the meeting of the Society for Social Medicine in Cambridge, September 1980
The negative association between IHD mortality and water hardness is well known. Other studies have suggested that myocardial magnesium is lower in IHD than in non-IHD deaths and that it may be related to water hardness. Pathologists in 30 county boroughs in England and Wales were asked to take a one-centimetre cube of myocardium from 60 consecutive male necropsies
Origins of American Occupational Elites, 1900-1955
Analisys of trends in vertical occupational mobility can be given greater precision by restricting informants to clearly delimited occupational groups and by using North-Hatt origins of informants as a base line for measurement. Use of this procedure on five occupational " elites" in four regions of the United States discloses several distinctive patterns in vertical mobility. These include a tendency for mobility for mibility rates to diminish i…
Social Climate and Productivity in Small Military Groups
individuals in Mountain Town confirm in every major respect mentioned what has been said above. They are much more competent and successful in the Anglo system than most Anglos; they are given a social acceptance by the Anglo group which, although far from unqualified, sets them markedly apart from the great majority of the Spanish; they are predominantly regarded by Anglos as spokesmen for the Spanish group, although by no means are they themsel…

structure, which paper will report in some detail the responses to the open-ended series of questions. This study suggests the necessity of a more critical analysis of the conceptual definitions of class consciousness and class identifications and the research operations by which they are tapped. It also emphasizes that class identification findings are a resultant of the particular questionwording technique employed. It is suggested that the ope…
Regional Differences in Vertical Mobility in a High-Status Occupation
T HE HISTORICAL pattern of settlement of the various regions of the United States presents a number of research opportunities to students of stratification. In the westward flow of migration, appreciable time intervals often separated the founding of communities in the several areas. One might anticipate, as a result, certain variations in maturity of institutions or in rigidity of the class system between regions. Ideally, these variations shoul…
