Global Tax Fairness: New ASAP-Supported OUP Publication

Overview

ASAP has co-funded a new Oxford University Press anthology, co-edited by ASAP Board PresidentThomas Pogge, and due to be published in Feb 2016:Global Tax Fairness.

Briefly, the book addresses fifteen different reform proposals that are urgently needed to correct the fault lines in the international tax system as it exists today, and which deprive both developing and developed countries of critical tax resources. It offers clear and concrete ideas on how the reforms can be achieved and why they are important for a more just and equitable global system to prevail. The policy reforms outlined in this book not only advance tax justice but also protect human rights by curtailing illegal activity and making available more resources for development.
