Sheldon Pollack (Delaware) has published a review of Toward Fundamental Tax Reform, a collection of nine essays on various aspects of tax reform, edited by Alan J. Auerbach (California-Berkeley) & Kevin A. Hassett (American Enterprise Institute) and published by AEI Press:

[T]he authors of the essays in the collection under review, Toward Fundamental Tax Reform, understand and accept the political environment of tax policymaking. Sure, they recognize the shortcomings of the current tax system (as well as the political system), but they neither despair over the prospects for tax reform nor propose unattainable replacement systems. Instead, they offer some reasoned arguments, a bit of cogent analysis, and a few practical proposals that could ameliorate the condition in which we now find ourselves. For that reason, we should be grateful to the editors who put together the collection, Alan J. Auerbach and Kevin A. Hassett. This collection of essays should be read by anyone interested in the current debate over tax reform — even seasoned veterans of the tax wars will learn much.
