The Political Economy of Corporation Tax Theory, Values and Law Reform

The volume is also instructive in the best sense, and for its relatively short length, relates a great deal of unfamiliar information on familiar topics. Yet it is also readable, and indeed becomes more so as the pages progress. Perhaps most importantly, and at the risk of repetition, the underlying aim of placing established interpretations of taxation into more of a critical context is an important one. At the least, it should help to move the debate forward, and it may even allow the undoubtedly valuable insights of economistic and other traditions to be translated more effectively into reality.Dominic de CoganBritish Tax ReviewNo.5 , 2012This is a dense book, full of historical details, painstaking explanations of the subtle differences in theory, and reference to so many organizations, pieces of legislation, and technical terms that a 'Table of Abbreviations' is included (and welcome!) at the outset. ...a worthwhile and meaningful contribution to the literature. Snape's willingness to embrace the 'messiness' of the details instead of attempting to draw simple conclusions from complex phenomenon is a refreshing departure from more technical writing on the subject of taxation.George R.
