Zooming In: discussion questions
Every week, we share a set of questions designed for A Level economics students to discuss, written by teacher Will Haines.
1. The Reform Party plan to lower fuel duty by 20p per litre. Using a relevant externality diagram, show the possible impact of this proposal.
2. Why may the Green Party find it challenging to raise the proposed £90bn in revenue from a carbon tax?
3. Different parties have different proposals on taxes and spending. In your view, which option would best raise standards of living in the UK? Justify your view.
