Reinventing Taxation for the Twenty-First Century
It is hard to see how the world will get by without a major global rethinking of taxation-and sooner rather than later. Tax issues are sufficiently complaex that any idea for changing taxation comes with strong pros and cons. But one thing is sure: the changes that will inevitably have to be made in the methods of taxation should happen in some countries but not in others, if we are to avoid an unholy and unhealthy mess. The world would be far better off with some sort of global framework for rethinking taxation for the twenty-first century.
