This book is an exciting look at taxation (really!). With all sorts of stories to exemplify good tax policy and bad tax policy, it shows how taxes shape the world we live in, the different theories behind fairness (should those who have pay the most? or should everyone pay equally?) and how collection efforts have changed through the years. It is a must read for anyone interested in how our tax system came to be.
