Time for a Robin Hood Tax on Currency Transactions?
The Politics of Financial Globalisation 30 March
2011
Speaker David Hillman
David Hillman is the director of the
NGO 'Stamp Out Poverty'.
Stamp Out Poverty was launched in April 2005 at the time of
Make Poverty History with a remit to work on new sources of
development finance. Stamp Out Poverty is acknowledged
for helping to open up political space around innovative sources of
financing which has lead to initiatives such as UNITAID and the
International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm).
Stamp Out Poverty is leading the
Robin Hood Tax campaign
with a discussion on the Currency Transaction Levy that sees the
implementation of sources of finance, specifically duties or
levies, to generate reliable income streams for the provision of
long term sustainable development.
