Sommario/riassunto |
|
This new and updated edition of The Flat Tax?called ""the bible of the flat tax movement"" by Forbes?explains what's wrong with our present tax system and offers a practical alternative. Hall and Rabushka set forth what many believe is the most fair, efficient, simple, and workable tax reform plan on the table: tax all income, once only, at a uniform rate of 19 percent. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
""Archipelagoes"" examines insularity as the space for adventure in the Spanish book of chivalry, much like the space of the forest in French chivalric romance.
