The book 'Zur optimalen Besteuerung' explores the theory and application of optimal taxation within economic systems. Edited by Dieter Pohmer and featuring contributions from scholars such as Johannes Hackmann, Manfred Rose, Christian Seidl, and Wolfgang Wiegard, it examines the balance between efficiency and distribution in public revenue systems. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview of optimal taxation theory and its implications for rational tax systems, critiquing traditional models and presenting new frameworks for understanding taxation's role in economic policy. The work is intended for economists and policymakers interested in fiscal policy and taxation, and it discusses both direct and indirect taxation, with a focus on theoretical models and empirical data. |
