Description

First of two sessions on taxation. Can we determine a proper system of income taxation - flat, proportional, progressive, benefit-based - based on the various Jewish taxation systems? (Largely based on work by Prof. Adam Chodorow) The second session will focus on tax avoidance. [A later class second-guessing my conclusions here is available at http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/880925.]
