"Future First is a practical guide for any business leader who wants to build, expand, or reinvent their company by finding new value in global challenges.

By contrast, future first leaders understand them as opportunities, as innovation challenges". --Provided by publisher's website.

Die Vertreter eines konstitutionellen Steuerreformansatzes lehnen die Reformempfehlungen der Theorie der optimalen Besteuerung (OT) mit dem Hinweis auf die mangelhafte Berücksichtigung politisch-ökonomischer Zusammenhänge ab. Sie befürchten, dass die Effizienzregeln der OT in der Hand eines Steuerstaates zur perfekten Ausbeutung der Steuerzahler missbraucht werden könnten. Vor dem Hintergrund konzeptioneller Defizite der modernen, normativen Steuertheorie werden jene Faktoren untersucht, die bei der Durchsetzung rationaler Steuerreformen von ausschlaggebender Bedeutung sind. Die positive Analyse des demokratischen Steuerreformprozesses belegt, dass eine effiziente und gerechte Besteuerung der Zensiten nur durch eine Steuerverfassung gewährleistet werden kann. Der Autor entwickelt u.a. eine Verfassungsregel, die eine norminkonsistente Vergabe von Steuerprivilegien verhindern soll.

As an intrinsic part of this transformation, newspaper reportage in British India underwent massive changes as that was the case in many other countries of the world in the Age of Globalisation. It is this global context which places the study not just in an Indian national context, but in an international setting. Against this background it is also argued that the emergence of the Indian national movement took place in a worldwide connected and entangled communication context that deeply influenced the press landscape of British India as it did the imagination of an Indian nation in an internationally organised world
