Author Description

Integrating theory and policy in an accessible, yet challenging approach, Federal Income Taxation features a tradition of distinguished authorship, reaching back to the original author Boris Bittker, eminent tax scholar from Yale Law. William A. Klein, who retires as of this edition, has a long-established reputation across academia, business and the federal government, and Bankman, Shaviro and Stark represent the best-known of younger tax scholars. A unique introduction lends insight to both the historical background and economic analysis of federal taxation for individuals. Problems interspersed between Notes and Questions help students comprehend the complexity of the material.
