In this two-part study, the authors argue that the US obsession with free trade agreements, instead of a focus on multilateralism at the World Trade Organisation, is a mistake. It states that free trade agreements embody protection as well as free trade.

The time for a Flat Tax has come.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fairness and Efficiency in the Flat Tax (Paperback)
Although this little book, which is a quick read and gets right to the point, was written in the mid 1990's, it is actually very relevent for today (early 2011). America's Income Tax system has become way too complex and consums way too much of America's bandwidth each year. About 1.5 Billion Man-Hours in fact.
I much appreciated that the book actually presents several essays with different takes on the pro's and con's of a flat tax. This was very helpful by being able to hear multiple side of the discussion rather than just one author's perspective. For any citizen who is tired of all the effort and time that goes into doing his or her taxes each year, the simple post-card approach of the Flat Tax will be greatly appreciated. What is also amazing is that this simpler approach can still be revenue neutral at the same time, but offer lower tax rates as well. Get this book, read it and then pass it along to a friend. The more people that come to understand this very viable alternative to what we have now, the more it may actually become possible that we can bring about change to the tax code.
