How tax law perpetuates injustice but might instead be used as a
powerful force for creating a more just and equitable society The
relationship between tax law and society, Anthony C. Infanti
asserts, is too often overlooked by those who work outside of the
field of fiscal policy. Yet, the way a country collects and spends
its revenue can be viewed as a quantifiable reflection of how a
country sees itself, sending messages about both what it values now
and what it aspires to be in the future. Tax and Time sheds light
on two of the most misunderstood universal human experiences: time
and taxes. Anthony C. Infanti asserts that time in tax law is the
product of pure imagination and calls into question the world
beyond time that we have created for ourselves. Written with
clarity and powerful insight, Tax and Time demonstrates how the tax
laws have been used to imaginatively manipulate time in ways that
perpetuate economic and social injustice. With its social justice
focus, the book brings a sorely needed critical perspective to
technical tax policy discussions. Infanti calls for a systematic
reexamination and reworking of the relationship between time and
tax law, asserting that the power of the legal imagination to
manipulate time in tax law can both correct past injustices and
help us to envision—and actually work toward—a better and more
just society.
