The Greedy Hand

How Taxes Drive Americans Crazy and What to Do About It

by Amity Shlaes

From the Publisher
"Finally, someone has given us a common-sense guide to America's worst regulatory mess: the tax system. Vividly told with stories from around America, THE GREEDY HAND builds a compelling case that the largest loser is democracy itself. The tax system is so complex that we no longer have any link between what we pay for and what we get."
--Philip K. Howard, author of THE DEATH OF COMMON SENSE

"Amity Shlaes is among the most brilliant of the young writers who are transforming American financial journalism. This important and timely book outlines the problem which dominates the politics of the 21st century--how to reform the income tax fundamentally. And it provides a stunning solution."
--Paul Johnson, author of MODERN TIMES

"This is a terrific book on the history of politics and taxing in America. It is a must read--whether you come from the left, right, or mushy middle. Amity Shlaes takes us by the hand and leads us through the looking glass on a remarkable tour of our Mad Hatter tax system. Shlaes transcends taxes and peers into the soul of our twisted political process."
--Fred Goldberg, former IRS Commissioner, former Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy, and Member of the
National Commission on Restructuring the IRS
