Excellent- More about The Trickle-Up Economy: How We Take from the Poor & Middle Class & Give to the Rich
Mark Mattern's book "The Great American Tax Shift" challenges the myth that the US takes from the rich and gives to the poor by documenting how income and wealth are transferred upward, subsidizing the top.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 205 pages
Publication date: 01 July 2021
Publisher: Lynne Rienner Publishers Inc
One of the most enduring myths in US political economy is the notion that we take from the rich and give to the poor, punishing the wealthy for their hard work and rewarding the undeserving. However, Mark Mattern challenges this narrative by documenting the everyday, institutionalized ways in which income and wealth are transferred upward in the United States. Mattern's provocative analysis reveals how, in reality, the bottom subsidizes the top, highlighting the processes and policy choices that systematically favor the rich. This book serves as a captivating tale of Robin Hood in reverse, shedding light on the systemic inequalities that exist in our political and economic system. It also serves as a call to action for a more equitable and democratic political economy, one that recognizes the importance of redistributing resources and wealth to ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to thrive.
