Description
The Triumph of Injustice: How the Rich Dodge Taxes and How to Make Them Pay A comprehensive investigation into America's tax system reveals a shocking truth: billionaires now pay lower tax rates than their secretaries. This forensic analysis, written by two leading economists, exposes the deliberate choices that have brought about this dramatic transformation. The authors dissect the history of taxation in America, tracing the gradual exemption of capital owners and the surge of a new tax avoidance industry. They propose a vision for a more progressive tax system, outlining reforms that can allow tax justice to triumph in today's globalized world. A companion website allows readers to evaluate proposals made by the authors and develop their own alternative tax reform at taxjusticenow.org.
