How to talk about budgets and taxes for public good: a narrative briefing paper
This paper contains recommendations on how to talk about budgets and taxes for the purposes of deepening people’s understanding about a tax system that allows everyone to get what they need to thrive.
This paper, and the advice in it, is for anyone advocating for a more just taxation system and one that can help build and maintain more public good.
The advice is this paper is drawn from research we located in a brief literature review on the topic and The Workshop’s own research and unique narrative expertise. It was prepared by Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw in 2023 for WEAll.
We would like to acknowledge in particular the work of Australia Remade, the FrameWorks Institute, and NEON and PIRC UK for their work on budgets, tax, and public good narratives.
