Description
Building on and adding to the strengths of its predecessors, the new 17th Edition of Federal Income Taxation continues the legacy of its original authors, Boris Bittker, Lawrence M. Stone and William A. Klein, in presenting complex material in an easy to understand way. With leading tax scholars Bankman, Shaviro, Stark and now Kleinbard at the helm of this widely popular book, the book continues to offer an accessible format, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and presenting a variety of perspectives: historical, economic, political, and international. New cases have been added, including more recent older cases (such as Cesarini v. United States), and new chapters have been included on Public and Private Sphere, Debt, Economic Substance, and Law and Poverty. Key Features: great pedigree and authorship; Original authors Boris Bittker and William A. Klein were eminent authorities (with beautiful writing styles). Bankman, Shaviro, Stark, and Kleinbard are among today’s leading tax scholars; the book has always offered the highest integration of economics and policy analysis; notes, problems, and graphs make challenging material accessible; even with all the new material, it is still one of the shortest books around – making it easy to teach from; terrific teacher’s manual with teaching notes on every case and concept; new chapters have been added on: public and Private Sphere to help clarify conceptual and administrative issues; debt, which included charts to help student navigate this tricky area; Law and Poverty which provides policy analysis and brief explanation of Earned Income Tax Credit.
