The book examines the stark disparity in tax burdens between the wealthy and working-class Americans, revealing that the rich now pay lower tax rates than in the 1920s. Economists Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman conduct a thorough analysis of the factors contributing to this shift, including the exemptions for capital owners, the rise of tax avoidance strategies, and international tax competition. Their investigation highlights the deliberate policy decisions and missed opportunities that have allowed this inequality to flourish, offering critical insights into the current economic landscape.
