Inequality and the State

This book is about inequality, how the State affects distribution through its spending programmes and through taxation, and what the public thinks of these three issues. It describes and analyses one of the biggest social changes in Britain since the Second World War: the dramatic widening of the income distribution since the end of the 1970s, the growth of poverty, and the factors that have driven them. And it examines how government social spending and the taxes that pay for it affect this distribution, and why they take the forms they do. Each part of the discussion is set in the context of public attitudes as revealed by the rigorous and long-running British Social Attitudes survey, and of Britain's position by comparison with other countries. Against this background, the book analyses changes in policy since New Labour came to government in 1997, discusses the impacts of these changes, and looks at the constraints and pressures on future policies, before concluding with a discussion of the dilemmas facing policy-makers as they try to meet competing aims in reducing poverty and inequality, growing demands on social spending, and the constraints and opportunities created by public attitudes.

Low Carbon, High Growth

Latin American Responses to Climate Change : an Overview

By: Augusto de la Torre,Pablo Fajnzylber,John Nash

There is an increasing consensus in the scientific community that climate change is a real and present threat. Despite the large uncertainty on the timing, magnitude and even the direction of some of the physical and economic effects of this phenomenon, it is widely accepted that the differences are regional and that developing countries as well as lower income populations tend to suffer the most. In this context, it is critical for Latin American countries to develop strategies for adapting to the various impacts of climate change, and for contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigation. Climate Change in Latin America contributes to these efforts by addressing a number of questions related to the causes and consequences of climate change in the case of Latin America. What are the likely impacts of climate change in the region? Which countries and regions will be most affected? What can governments do to tackle the challenges associated with adapting to climate change? What role can Latin America play in the area of climate change mitigation? While the book does not attempt to provide definitive answers to these questions, it contributs new information and analysis that could help to inform the public policy debate on this important issue.

Describing for the first time a COP2 transport defect that causes psychosis - go to preview function for free access.

By: John Neville

In a familial disorder that can cause psychosis that is comorbid with physical symptoms of various metabolic disorders, evidence is presented which indicates that the metabolic derangement in the disorder likely centers on the hypofunction of SAR1B mediated COP2 transport, and the consequential hyperfunction of SAR1B/COP2 autophagy. This metabolic derangement has significant links to five genetic locations, three of which were previously reported on in the disorder - 5q31.1, 17p11.2 and 17p13.1. It is noted that a complete or partial failure of the PI3K product PI3P, or of PI4KA dependent PI4P, to bind with SEC23IP, as part of the COP2 transport process, would be almost entirely consistent with and provide a complete explanation for the presentation of this familial disorder.
