- Summary
- In a capitalist economy, taxes are the most important instrument by which the political system puts into practice a conception of economic and distributive justice. Taxes arouse strong passions, fueled not only by conflicts of economic self-interest, but by conflicting ideas of fairness. In this book, taking as a guiding principle the conventional nature of private property, the authors show how taxes can only be evaluated as part of the overall system of property rights that they help to create. To their opinion, justice or injustice in taxation, can only mean justice or injustice in the system of property rights and entitlements that result from a particular regime. Taking up ethical issues about individual liberty, interpersonal obligation, and both collective and personal responsibility, this book forces us to reconsider how our tax policy shapes our system of property rights. After an introduction (I) the book discusses: (II) traditional criteria of tax equity; (III) economic justice in political theory; (IV) redistribution and public provision; (V) the tax base; (VI) progressivity; (VII) inheritance; (VIII) tax discrimination and (IX) conclusions: politics
