Taxocracy with Scott Hodge

Free The Economy

This week we cover how the SEC is going to spam investors with a deluge of low-quality disclosures, the Supreme Court’s decision on social media censorship in Murthy v. Missouri, and the massive scope of Covid-era tax fraud. Our interview this week is with Scott Hodge, president emeritus & senior policy advisor at the Tax Foundation and the author of the excellent new book Taxocracy: What You Don't Know About Taxes and How They Rule Your Daily Life. We talk about deductions, perverse incentives, reform options, and the reason 18th century British buildings had so few windows. Free the Economy is produced and hosted by Richard Morrison.
