by Thomas Sowell
This book examines the common idea that higher tax rates on the “rich” increase government revenues. Based on empirical and careful analysis, Sowell examines this hypothesis and revisits the origins of the ideas of “Trickle Down” Theory and “Tax Cuts for the Rich”—in his signature style that we’ve all come to love.
This is a critical area of economic thinking—yet another where Sowell has proven to be a formidable expert and clear thinker.
With the issue of taxes and government revenue set to be a central topic of debate in the coming months, this research and analysis is an indispensable resource.
