Following the devolution acts of 1998, 2012 and 2016, it has extensive powers and resources to fulfill its ambition. This interdisciplinary collection of essays asks how it can be achieved, given the range of powers available, economic constraints, institutions and public support. Looking at economic policy, taxation and welfare, A Wealthier, Fairer Scotland provides a realistic analysis of the opportunities and constraints facing a small, devolved nation. After years of debate on what powers Scotland should have, this book examines how they might be used to shape the country's future UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474416443?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781474416443 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781474416443/original ER -
