Double Taxation In The United States (1895)

Double Taxation in the United States is a book written by Francis Amasa Walker, a renowned economist and statistician. Originally published in 1895, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the issue of double taxation in the United States, which occurs when the same income or property is taxed twice by different jurisdictions. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of taxation in the United States, including the development of the federal and state tax systems. It also discusses the different types of taxes levied by these entities, such as income taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes. The second part of the book focuses specifically on the issue of double taxation. Walker examines the various ways in which double taxation can occur, including through the taxation of corporate profits, dividends, and inheritances. He also discusses the negative economic effects of double taxation, such as reduced investment and economic growth. Throughout the book, Walker provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate his points. He also offers recommendations for how the United States could reform its tax system to reduce or eliminate double taxation. Overall, Double Taxation in the United States is a seminal work on the issue of double taxation and remains relevant today for policymakers, economists, and anyone interested in the history and evolution of the American tax system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
