Abstract

This article, “Utopian Taxation: Covering The Cost of Living,” discusses concepts of economics and tax policy with an intent to have its readers consider or reconsider what is truly valuable to them individually and to society as a whole. I discuss the overall workings of Money-Based Economies, Resource-Based Economies, and Mixed Economies with their relation to tax policy and the implications that arise or may arise within them. I believe that the concepts discussed within this article are very interesting and address new and revolving issues of people, government, and the relationships between them.
