More Than a Number

6: 34% A tax system for the 21st century

Government spending affects how we vote and the structure of our tax system affects how we live. Our tax system is a critical – and complex – issue, hear Paul Johnson from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Philip Booth from the Institute of Economic Affairs and economist James Meadway tackle the subject, and Kathryn Cearns from the Office for Tax Simplification makes the case for a simpler system.

What’s in a number? How are numbers used to frame conversations? And why is this insight vital for business leaders? Join host Louise Cooper and her expert guests as they unpack the stories behind some of the most important numbers in our world today, to show why critical thinking is more important than ever.
