Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic crisis lead to higher borrowings and fiscal deficits. To overcome the situation, new tax policies or tax reform are vital as one of the fiscal policy objectives is to reduce the budget deficits. Nevertheless, tax reforms are likely to affect the cost of production, which results in inflation, leading to the change in consumption pattern in the economy. This situation will therefore, worsen the current economic situation. Thus, this book in a nutshell, looks into the role of tax reform in influencing the societal well-being from the perspective of inflationary episode. This book used Malaysia as a case study in investigating the tax reform and inflationary episode given the relatively recent tax reform that had taken place in 2015 with the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and its subsequent abolishment in 2018. when the elected Pakatan Harapan government reverted to the Sales and Services Tax (SST) or known as SST 2.0. Hence, it is vital for the people to understand the role of tax reform in affecting the inflationary episode in Malaysia so that everyone can contribute towards minimizing its adverse impacts.

Book Description
Controlling inflation is among the most important objectives of economic policy. By maintaining price stability, policy makers are able to reduce uncertainty, improve price-monitoring mechanisms, and facilitate more efficient planning and allocation of resources, thereby raising productivity. This volume focuses on understanding the causes of the Great Inflation of the 1970s and ’80s, which saw rising inflation in many nations, and which propelled interest rates across the developing world into the double digits. In the decades since, the immediate cause of the period’s rise in inflation has been the subject of considerable debate. Among the areas of contention are the role of monetary policy in driving inflation and the implications this had both for policy design and for evaluating the performance of those who set the policy. Here, contributors map monetary policy from the 1960s to the present, shedding light on the ways in which the lessons of the Great Inflation were absorbed and applied to today’s global and increasingly complex economic environment.

Category : Political Science

Pages : 416

The 1989 Tiananmen crisis marked a crucial turning point for the People's Republic of China. The unprecedented demonstrations of popular dissent triggered the downfall of reformist premier Zhao Ziyang, who supported the students, and the rise of his conservative successor, Li Peng. The subsequent military crackdown on the demonstrators horrified the world and threatened the PRC with international isolation. In this book, distinguished scholars from Taiwan and the United States analyze the wide-ranging effects of the crisis on the role of ideology; the Party; the military; social and legal reform; economic reform; Taiwan and Hong Kong; and foreign relations. For anyone interested in China, and in particular the future of Communism, this volume will be essential reading.

A History of Chile chronicles the nation's political, social, and economic evolution from its independence until the early years of the Lagos regime. Employing primary and secondary materials, it explores the growth of Chile's agricultural economy, during which the large landed estates appeared; the nineteenth-century wheat and mining booms; the rise of the nitrate mines; their replacement by copper mining; and the diversification of the nation's economic base. This volume also traces Chile's political development from oligarchy to democracy, culminating in the election of Salvador Allende, his overthrow by a military dictatorship, and the return of popularly elected governments. Additionally, the volume examines Chile's social and intellectual history: the process of urbanization, the spread of education and public health, the diminution of poverty, the creation of a rich intellectual and literary tradition, the experiences of middle and lower classes and the development of Chile's unique culture.
