Reid (correspondent, the Washington Post; The Healing of America) turns his attention to the U.S. tax code in this examination of taxes around the world. Reid posits that the U.S. tax code is due for a rewrite in 2018 and offers an explanation of the current system and how it compares to the systems in other countries, as well as suggestions for how to simplify taxes in the United States. In each chapter he addresses a different type of tax or issue related to taxes, including different options such as the flat tax and VAT; how taxes in the United States compare to those in other countries; business tax; sales tax; tax evasion; and more. Readers will find this book more enlightening and engaging than preparing for April 15.
VERDICT Reid takes on a complex topic and presents it in a humorous and understandable way. This book will appeal to general readers and taxpayers, as well as those interested in business and politics. [See Prepub Alert, 10/10/16.]
