Navigating stigma while balancing between the social and the commercial
This study focuses on Clarity & Co., one of the UK’s oldest social enterprises (SEs), and offers insights into social entrepreneurship through historically analysing its 166-year effort in de-stigmatisation (1854–2020). Specifically, the study examines social entrepreneurship as a dynamic process through which SEs manage stigma over time to pursue both their social mission and economic self-sufficiency. Our findings contribute to social entrepren…
Down a Slippery Slope
Over the second half of the 20th century, Greek governments failed to tax business income in line with the country’s level of economic development.

We argue that the negative legacy of interwar reforms, the lack of sustained and credible investment in trust building…

Utilising historical evidence from the mid 1950s to the late 1980s, this article confirms that problematic tax rules create difficulties for…
