Tax Reform: Recommended Readings
In the spirit of a call from Ethan Zuckerman, the director of the MIT Center for Civic Media, for more “wide news” — news that reflects society’s diversity of opinions — we’ve been sending out some recommended readings for each of our events that cut across the spectrum. This month, our topic is “Tax Reform: What Do I Need to Know?” We have a few suggested starting points, meant to display a variety of angles on this month’s topic.
Please note that these are by no means meant to be thorough, but rather the readings are merely meant as a place to begin our conversation, as well as a way of showcasing some of the conversations already happening.
