Myth of Ownership Taxes and Justice

"The thoughts in this book deserve examination, especially the views of Nagel and Murphy on the self-interest each taxpayer reasonably has in the social justice purchased by hard-earned money. Unfortunately, their carefully developed arguments are mixed with a hostility to inherited wealth that will make it easy for those who are paid to promote hatred of taxes to dismiss them as soak-the-rich types with nothing new to say....Murphy and Nagel offer ideas that would improve the national debate over how we should tax ourselves, even if their views never gain popular acceptance"Murphy, Liam is the author of 'Myth of Ownership Taxes and Justice', published 2004 under ISBN 9780195176568 and ISBN 0195176561.
