Tax “justice” has become an increasingly central issue of political debate in many countries, particularly following the cardiac arrest of global financial services in 2008 and the subsequent worldwide slump in trade and production. The evident abuse of tax systems by corporations and rich individuals through tax avoidance schemes and offshore shadow banking is increasingly in the public eye. Above all, the political challenges of recovery and structural reform have raised core issues of burden-sharing and social equity on the agendas of both civil society groups and political elites. Democratic states need tax revenue to fund public goods and combat public “bads” with any degree of legitimacy. The contributions to this book discuss the haphazard evolution of contemporary taxation systems, their contradictory effects in a globalized economy, and the urgency of their reform as a precondition for social justice.

Reviews for Tax Justice and the Political Economy of Global Capitalism, 1945 to the Present
“The selling point of this volume is the sustained focus on tax, justice and a whole variety of topical debates, backed up by detailed and thought-provoking research…. Overall, this is an interesting collection of work that would be an excellent addition to any academic library. It is not the final word on this subject, but the aim seems to have been to open up interdisciplinary debates on matters of the highest possible importance. In this, it has certainly been successful.”  ·  Journal of Contemporary European Studies “This is an insightful and intensely relevant collection providing a modern interpretation of political economy’s engagement with questions of tax law… What is clearly needed now, more than ever, is an informed review of the existing literature on political economy—and, in particular, of the significant intellectual accomplishments in this area of the great early and mid-twentieth century writers on global, economic justice. This literature is referenced throughout these essays, and this is very much to be welcomed.”  ·  Ann Mumford, Queen Mary, University of London “This book addresses a topical issue, linking together the question of taxation, justice and development. I am not aware of another book that attempts to covers the topic so comprehensively… The core of the book consists of a good array of strong comparative and theoretical chapters. It is a good book and highly recommended.”  ·  Ronen Palan, University of Birmingham
