An Economic Philosophy towards the Axiological Good via Taxation

Abstract

Using synthetic epistemological model with axiological framework, it is revealed that tax reduction is good policy when tax rate is lower than normal, and that tax increase is good policy when tax rate is higher than normal, during economic overheat. Meanwhile, it is found that tax reduction is good policy when tax rate is higher than normal and that tax increase is good policy when tax rate is lower than normal, during economic depression. Around two economic issues: 1) how to distribute social wealth between rich agents and poor ones, as well as nations and enterprises? 2) how to maintain social justice via making balance between equality and efficiency? It is suggested to apply elastic tax system towards the axiological good in social economy.
