In "The Triumph of Injustice," economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman embark on a meticulous quest to unravel the complexities of America's tax system, revealing a stark transformation that has fueled the nation's ever-widening inequality. With precision and insightful analysis, the authors trace the trajectory of tax policies from the progressive era to the present day, where the wealthiest Americans enjoy tax rates lower than their secretaries, a disparity unseen since the 1920s. Through a blend of historical context and innovative economic research, Saez and Zucman lay bare the mechanisms and decisions—both active and passive—that have led to a tax system that disproportionately favors the ultra-rich, while placing an increasing burden on the working class. Beyond its forensic examination of tax injustice, the book offers a glimpse into a hopeful future, where tax reform is not only possible but imperative for the restoration of fairness and democracy. Saez and Zucman don't just critique; they propose a bold, democratic blueprint for an equitable tax system, challenging readers to envision a society where tax justice triumphs over concentrated wealth. Accompanied by a pioneering companion website that allows readers to explore and customize tax reform scenarios, "The Triumph of Injustice" is a compelling call to action, urging us toward a tax system that serves the many, not the few.
