This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of optimal tax issues from a household economics perspective, reflecting the realities of most taxpayers. It adopts a unified and integrated approach to analyze optimal taxation in a homogeneous manner, employing a household production approach to gain a critical understanding of how tax policy impacts economic agents. This unique approach allows for the study of home activities using the same toolbox typically used for market activities, as most agents operate within a family and their interactions with the economy and tax policy are influenced by the interdependence of family members' choices.

As a result of the book's analysis, many established results in public economics may need to be revised. Nonetheless, this book is valuable to both graduate students and researchers alike, as it employs a rigorous analytical language while also offering ample intuitive explanations to facilitate understanding.

In conclusion, this book provides a valuable contribution to the field of household economics by offering a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of optimal tax issues. Its unique approach and rigorous analytical language make it accessible to a wide range of readers, while its focus on maximizing social welfare through taxation offers valuable insights into public policy and economic behavior.
