The Joy of Tax – an endorsement

Posted on November 16 2020

I don't get emails like this every day, I admit:

"The Joy of Tax" is absolutely brilliant! I'm only on Chapter 3, and I've already learned so much. In fact, I think what you've written is so important that I've decided to place it at the center of a new undergraduate class I'm designing, to be taught in the Summer or Fall of 2021.

As a consequence I thought I'd share this one. The author is a full professor at an Ivy League university in the USA.

The book is available here, and eslewhere.

Thanks for reading this post.

    A great endorsement indeed. I must admit that “The Joy of Tax” is one of the few books I’ve bought multiple copies of to give to friends. But I’m not an Ivy league Professor, so that probably doesn’t count 🙂

    It’s brilliant news that a fellow Professor is going to use your book in his/her teaching. This is what uni’s are supposed to do – disseminate knowledge. And if it challenges orthodoxy, so much the better.

    Well done, it must feel rewarding to get that sort of constructive appreciation.

    I fear that sadly the parodic title will be lost on the current generation of students, and even on some of their professors. I haven’t read your book, so I can still maintain the image in my mind of the line drawings within showing an earnest bearded young man and his slightly over-coiffeured female colleague in the act of calculating taper relief.
