This updated version of Taxing Ourselves remains the essential resource on tax policy for students, researchers, and the interested public. -- Austan Goolsbee, Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics, University of Chicago's Booth School of Business; former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers With a fresh perspective informed by insights from the latest economic research, Slemrod and Bakija engage the reader with a wealth of information about our tax system, its problems, and the challenges we confront in attempting tax reform in an era of increasing inequality, growing national debt, and sharp political polarization. But perhaps the biggest barrier to tax reform is misunderstanding, to which this book is an effective antidote. -- Alan J. Auerbach, Robert D. Burch Professor of Economics and Law, and Director, Robert D. Burch Center for Tax Policy and Public Finance, University of California, Berkeley
