Viard, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has edited this analysis of the American tax system and how it holds up against the latest global financial crises. Expert
commentators discuss such topics as the implementation of environmental taxes as a response to climate change, the impact on taxation on entries and exits in the labor market and how the
"elasticity" of taxable income influences tax policy design in a profound way. Designed for policymakers who must confront issues of taxation, this book uses theoretical models and statistics
to support its recommendations for the future of tax codes in the United States. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
