The unprecedented economic recession is having serious consequences for millions of people around the world.
Many of the world’s poorest people - especially poor children - have been particularly severely affected.
We believe that a Financial Transactions Tax is an innovative and equitable way of raising the funds needed to meet development goals, enable developing countries to adapt to climate change, pay off debts, and improve the state of public finances in many countries.
This brief outlines:

- How it would work
- Is it really feasible?
- What revenues should be spent on
- What we’re calling for
