This interdisciplinary collection of essays asks how Scotland can create a brighter economic and social future, given the range of powers available, economic constraints, institutions and public support. Looking at economic policy, taxation and welfare, it realistically analyses the opportunities and constraints.
Michael Keating argues that what matters to Scotland is not independence but the powers and taxes that the Scottish Parliament and Government control, and how they use them - a vital question after the referendum as new powers are devolved from Westminster. There is popular support for a social and economic settlement on Nordic lines, combining economic performance with social justice, but can Scotland achieve this notoriously difficult ideal? This is the first study to delve into these issues in detail. It will be of interest to those concerned with the future of Scotland and in what a non-sovereign nation or region can do in a complex and interdependent world.
