Tax Policy and Economic Development

A study of the relationship between development and fiscal policy. Upends the usual approach by which an academic model is constructed and theoretically applied to a developing country; analyzes, rather, the existing tax systems of developing countries, shows how they work and why they have the effect they do, then explores what kinds of changes are possible, and what impact those might have.
