If you could find an interesting read on tax policies and their impact on society, then this book would be it. You might also find it frustrating as you read about all the ways the wealthy and well connected can beat the system. The most important aspect of the book though is how the tax avoidance impacts society. The author does a good job showing the connections. The author provides plenty of remedies that on the surface makes sense - ya that will stop them! But he misses an important fact - the tax cheats have all our politicians in their pockets and all the makes great sense laws he proposes would never see the light of day because the corruptness of today's politicians. ( ) Saez and Zucman have written a book about tax policy and managed to make it both understandable and even entertaining. Their main concern is to show how our current US tax policies have made the rich richer. To do this, they provide a history of how the US tax system evolved to what it is today. They also provide some very concrete and influential proposals about how to make the tax system more fair. The footnotes are excellent and they provide a web site with their data and a tax calculator to allow readers to experiment with the parameters of their proposal.

"A searing examination of a key driver of American inequality-our tax system. Even as they became fabulously wealthy, the rich have seen their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice is a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation. Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, economists who revolutionized the study of inequality, demonstrate how the super-rich pay a lower tax rate than everybody else. In crystalline prose, they dissect the deliberate choices and the sins of indecision that have fueled this trend: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax-avoidance industry; and, most critically, tax competition between nations. It is not too late to change course. Instead of competition, we could choose cooperation, finding ways to create a tax regime that serves universal, democratic ends. The Triumph of Injustice offers a visionary and practical reinvention of taxes for that globalized world"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
