NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Income redistribution Income redistribution, or the redistribution of wealth, is a political policy usually promoted by members of the political left, and opposed, or less strongly supported, by members of the political right. Often, proponents of redistribution argue that the rich are exploiting the poor or otherwise gaining unfair benefits, and therefore redistributive practices are necessary in order to redress the balance. Children are clearly not responsible for the wealth of their parents, and yet the state often provides greater benefits and better education for the children of the rich than for the children of the poor. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Income-redistribution   (1327 words)

NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Redistribution Redistributive efforts have been proposed for and applied to monetary wealth, land, opportunity, capital, as well as human capital throughout history. While some measure of redistribution is necessary for a society to maintain function, redistribution invariantly meets with controversy, especially from those who are privileged and stand to lose in the process. The least controversial redistributive measures are normally in the form of education, because general consensus is that educating the population benefits all. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Redistribution   (1601 words)

Income redistribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The basic premise of the redistribution of wealth is that money should be distributed so it benefits all members of society, and that the rich should be obliged to assist the poor. Income redistribution occurs in some form in most liberal democracies, most commonly through progressive taxation, where the amount of tax paid as a percentage of income increases as income increases. Proponents of redistribution argue from the Marxian standpoint that wealthier people are exploiting the poor or otherwise gaining unfair benefits, therefore necessitating redistributive practices in order to redress the imbalance. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Income_redistribution   (423 words)

Redistribution (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Redistribution of wealth, in this sense, occurs whenever there is a shift in patterns of holdings over time (among some set of subjects) in response to some policy or other social mechanism. Redistribution is often understood more narrowly, referring only to socially caused changes in patterns of holdings over time that are implemented (at least in part) for the very reason that they are likely to bring about these changes. Redistributive taxation is also commonly distinguished from Pigouvian (after the economist Arthur Pigou), or what might most aptly called ‘compensation’ taxes, which pay for harms that persons cause to the environment or to other people through their activities. plato.stanford.edu /entries/redistribution   (6113 words)

Book Review - The Ethics of Redistribution In the 20th century, governments increasingly have become great engines for the redistribution of wealth. This is demonstrated, he shows, by the common belief of most of those who advocate redistribution: since most people will no longer have the "independent means" to perform such social services and activities, the state must now perform them. What is redistributed is not wealth from the rich to the poor, but power from the people to the state. www.fff.org /freedom/1290d.asp   (848 words)

EPAA Vol. 9 No. 16 Ng: Wealth Redistribution, Race and Southern Public Schools, 1880-1910 In addition, the related question is addressed, how did the disenfranchisement of fls, the constitutional validation of the doctrine of "separate but equal", and the establishment of segregated schools alter the redistribution of wealth effected by the public schools and their supporting taxes. The varying wealth redistribution inherent in a poll tax financed public school system was determined by the extent of fl disenfranchisement, relative fl and white enrollments, and the difference in fl and white per capita spending. While fl wealth per capita was 3.5-7.5% of white wealth, average fl worker income was 90% of white worker income. epaa.asu.edu /epaa/v9n16   (6278 words)

Redistribution of Wealth There are a number of fundamental principles and issues that, when taken together, help to provide a framework for considering the subject of the redistribution of wealth. These include the principle of the oneness of mankind, the "coherence" of the material and spiritual aspects of life, and the Bahá'í perspectives on wealth and on the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty. Wealth is praiseworthy in the highest degree, if it is acquired by an individual's own efforts and the grace of God, in commerce, agriculture, art and industry, and if it be expended for philanthropic purposes. www.bahai-library.com /?file=compilation_redistribution_wealth.html#9   (6236 words)

Globalisation: who benefits? by Stan Thekaekara But knowing both women and their families, I do not for a moment believe that this transfer from a rich Northern country to a relatively poorer Southern country was actually a redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. Up until then, wealth and well being generated from the forests and the soil around their homesteads was equitably distributed among all their people. The impediment to the flow of wealth from India to Britain brought about by independence did not mean a redistribution of that wealth to the adivasis and other impoverished people like them. www.feasta.org /documents/review2/thekaekara3.htm   (2421 words)

Redistribution   (Site not responding.

Reducing health inequalities in Britain The growing differences in wealth between the rich and poor were mirrored by differences in their health, measured by mortality rates (where social class is used as a proxy for wealth). The modest redistribution of wealth referred to in this research is one which would return the inequalities in mortality to their 1983 levels. Were differences in wealth and income to be returned to the early 1980s level through policies with a mildly redistributive effect, we would expect the differences in life chances to be reduced. www.jrf.org.uk /knowledge/findings/socialpolicy/980.asp   (1692 words)

Redistribution of Wealth With regard to the request for information about the Bahá'í perspective on the redistribution of wealth, it is useful to preface the discussion by considering a number of statements excerpted from letters written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi concerning the contribution of the Faith to economics: The beginning of magnanimity is when man expendeth his wealth on himself, on his family and on the poor among his brethren in his Faith. The essence of wealth is love for Me; whoso loveth Me is the possessor of all things, and he that loveth Me not is indeed of the poor and needy. www.bahai-library.com /unpubl.compilations/redistribution.wealth.html   (5894 words)

The MacMinute Café:  Re: Redistribution of Wealth.   Much is bally hooed by socialist politicians that cry the world is unfair and we must redistribute wealth to create a level playing field for the less fortunate. Wealth distribution is any easy sell to voters - "let the rich pay" - because it allows politicians to promise wonderful programs that make everyone feel good. See the problem isn't wealth distribution or taxing the rich more to pay for stuff, it's inheritance when the government (your politicians) allows inheritance while supporting a policy of controlled abundance of wealth. www.macminute.com /cgi-bin/wwwthreads/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=politics&Number=236098&page=&view=&sb=&o=&part=&vc=1   (1450 words)

What is Liberation Theology? It started in South America as an offshoot of the turbulent 1950's where Marxism was making great gains among the poor of South America with its emphasis on the redistribution of wealth, allowing poor peasants to share in the wealth of the colonial elite and thus upgrade their economic level in life. Since the only governmental model for the redistribution of the wealth in a South American country was a Marxist model (gained in the turbulent 1950's), the redistribution of wealth to raise the economic standards of the poor in South America took on a definite Marxist flavor. Since those who had money were very reluctant to part with it in any wealth redistribution model, the use of a populist (read poor) revolt was encouraged by those who worked most closely with the poor. www.gotquestions.org /liberation-theology.html   (438 words)

Stewardship - St Paul's, Brockville If wealth is based on land, (and we know they’re not making any more land), then you must hold on to what you have inherited. This wealth is gained by preying on the poor peasant, who sees only what is left after the master has taken his piece and when it’s not enough to support his family he goes into debt. Jesus’ vision of redistributed wealth is supplemented by his references to hospitality. www.recorder.ca /stpauls/steward.html   (1134 words)

The Cavalier Daily   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Surely, the argument goes, anyone with a heart must admit that a large portion of this wealth should be taken from the privileged rich and given to the needy poor. Sadly, the forcible redistribution of significant chunks of wealth from rich to poor would still wreak social havoc. The amount of wealth to be distributed in society is not fixed, but instead depends upon the efforts of industrious individuals whose labor creates the goods that people want to enjoy. www.cavalierdaily.com /CVArticle.asp?ID=19832&pid=1154   (614 words)

Popes Are Right on Wealth Redistribution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Williams is not a Catholic, so it is unlikely that he will be concerned to discover that the papal encyclicals speak favorably of the wealth redistribution through taxation that he considers immoral. Let’s cut to the chase: when a society redistributes wealth, all it is doing is redistributing wealth it has previously redistributed. But for those who cannot easily adapt, some redistribution of wealth is called for, in the form of a progressive income tax, unemployment insurance, social security programs, Medicare, and the other social programs that Walter Williams considers immoral. www.catholicexchange.com /vm/index.asp?art_id=25694   (1057 words)
