Zur Veranstaltung:
#ZEWBookTalk: „Public Spending and the Role of the State – History, Performance, Risk and Remedies”.
Over the millennia, governments around the world have generated income through taxation of all sorts of things and circumstances: from windows, wallpaper to wigs, candles and childlessness, the right to a coat of arms and bachelorhood – it’s all there.
The two leading tax analysts Joel Slemrod and Michael Keen show that dealing with taxes is far from being boring. In their latest book “Rebellions, Rascals, and Revenue – Tax Follies and Wisdom through the Ages”, they take the reader on an entertaining journey through 4,000 years of tax history, peppered with all sorts of bizarre anecdotes from around the world. May we be able to learn from the past? In exchange with ZEW President Achim Wambach, Slemrod and Keen will also take a look at the international dimension of taxation.
The event will be available to watch via a livestream. If you have any questions, please contact event@zew.de.
Die Veranstaltung findet digital statt und wird per Livestream übertragen. Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer können ihre Fragen vorab unter event@zew.de einreichen.
