Even as they became fabulously wealthy, the ultra-rich have had their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice presents a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation, written by two economists who revolutionized the study of inequality. Eschewing anecdotes and case studies, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman offer a comprehensive view of America's tax system, based on new statistics covering all taxes paid at all levels of government. Their conclusion? For the first time in more than a century, billionaires now pay lower tax rates than their secretaries.

Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry, and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.

But The Triumph of Injustice is much more than a laser-sharp analysis of one of the great political and intellectual failures of our time. Saez and Zucman propose a visionary, democratic, and practical reinvention of taxes, outlining reforms that can allow tax justice to triumph in today's globalized world and democracy to prevail over concentrated wealth.

A pioneering companion website allows anyone to evaluate proposals made by the authors, and to develop their own alternative tax reform at taxjusticenow.org.

Good quality, bad packaging

Really good quality. It last a lot time but it came with the lid off. Like it was loose in the box so the packaging was not great but quality is good!

SIMPLY PERFECT
Size: 30mm, Color: Brown/Silver-Tone/White/30mm
If you can appreciate a watch that simply tells time, buy this beautiful watch. The band is made of quality leather, it’s easy to adjust to fit and stays in place. The watch face is clean, bright and easy to read the accurate time. The functionality to light the face by pressing the wind button in is a thoughtful feature. The watch is water “resistant” (you can wear the watch when washing dishes), but I wouldn’t shower with it on or submerge it in water just in case. This watch accessorizes with anything I’m wearing in an understated way. TIMEX is a time-proven quality watch maker and this particular watch is a great value! I highly recommend this simply perfect and beautiful watch.
