Description
Tax has been a fundamental part of human society for a very long time. Yet, despite its importance, it often receives little praise. Richard Murphy argues that tax is not just about technicalities, but about the ideas that shape our society. In The Joy of Tax, Murphy challenges many common assumptions about taxation and its role in creating a fairer society. He explores how tax has been used to develop democracy around the world and how it contributes to the creation of the society we aspire to.
