Vastly Discordant Remunerations
Case for a Modestly Higher Progressive Taxation
A.G. Alias
About the Book
“This essay is a summary of a book with the same theme and title I have been trying to write since 2012. I couldn’t finish it to my satisfaction. I then felt I might never finish it. And I suspended my book project to focus on this lengthy summary. There may be some lacunae in this summary, as in the book version. And my scholarship in economics is admittedly weak. Despite that, I believe a majority among the readers who take the time to read this would agree with my basic arguments.

As embedded in the title, the remunerations that each of us gets have very little correlation to what we are worth, or to our skill and effort. Therefore, moderate tax-hikes on the top 0.1% incomes to about 50% to spend on various public service and social safety-net programs are substantially beneficial to any society. The misery of the least among us must be alleviated.”

About the Author
I am a retired Indian American psychiatrist who arrived in America in 1971. I have some fourteen, mostly single-author publications to my credit, including a short one in The Lancet – “Androgen-Dysgenesis: A Predisposing Factor in Schizophrenia?” (1972), which is more relevant now with the discovery of neuroactive sex-steroids in different brain areas than in the 1970s, when some complex combination of hyper as well as hypoactivity in the dopamine system in critical brain sites was seen as the determinant of schizophrenic psychopathology.

I would greatly appreciate it if the readers would point out, with or without their suggestions, the “errors” and/or disagreements they encounter with this.

So You Think You Can Think?
Thinking through moral dilemmas in pursuit of justice
Otto Toews, Ph.D.
About the Book
In our complex world, how can we learn to think through moral dilemmas in the pursuit of justice? How do the words we associate with morality impact our understanding and application of it? In short, how can we enact equal measures of fairness among family members, friends, and strangers? These are the troubling questions that guide Dr. Otto Toews as he critically engages with the language of morality and uncovers what is lacking in our conversations about fairness. Using a Principled Thinking Model for resolving everyday moral dilemmas, Toews identifies five basic categories that are necessary for moral thinking: duty, rights, motive, desert, and justice. Combining this research with Nel Nodding’s seminal work on caring, Toews concludes that while it is vital that we practice thinking through moral dilemmas, the key to attaining universal justice and fairness lies in our sense of fellow feeling, or empathy. Toews argues that without the urgency and energy prompted by a sense of concern for others, thinking through moral dilemmas will remain insufficient in fostering an ethical world.

Throughout the book, Toews augments his research by providing hypothetical scenarios involving two teachers, Bill and Mae. They engage in spirited debates over how duty, rights, motive, desert, and justice apply to issues such as education, cyber bullying, mental illness, reconciliation, and more. Again and again, Bill and Mae are caught up by the power of empathy, demonstrating the urgent need to care for others. It is through their dialogues that Toews has designed a brilliant way for us to witness moral thinking in action, giving us the language we need to navigate it, and preparing us for the countless types of conflicts we encounter every day.
