Behind Tax Policy Controversies : Social, Legal and Economic Foundations, Hardback Book

Behind Tax Policy Controversies : Social, Legal and Economic Foundations Hardback

Part of the Anthem Critical Introductions series

Hardback

Description

This book is designed to be a short, critical introduction to the controversies in tax policy.

The main thesis of the book is that there is a deeper substructure to debates about tax policy that underlie many of the controversies.

By understanding the nature of this substructure one can place the debates about tax policy into a broader perspective.

The book elucidates this underlying architecture, drawing on ideas from economics, law, philosophy, psychology, and political science.

It uses these tools to shed light on conventional debates on tax policy, such as whether to tax all sources of income or instead just tax consumption.

It also touches on current and emerging debates. These include the appropriate goals for tax reform, the most judicious way to tax multinational corporations, our ability to tax the very wealthy, and whether the tax system has a racial subtext.
