Check out this BBC series on Taxing Questions as part of its Changing World series. Taxing Questions explores how globalization and cultural attitudes impact taxation around the world:

• Part One:  Taxes may be a fact of life for us. But in some nations, paying taxes is the exception rather than the rule. The BBC’s Maurice Walsh reports from Latin America.
• Part Two:  This documentary produced for the BBC World Service examines how African nations tax their natural resources. Maurice Walsh looks at the revenue generated by Zambia’s copper boom – much of which isn’t going to Zambia.
