Even as they became fabulously wealthy, the rich have seen their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, the working-class has been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice is a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation. In crystalline prose, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman dissect the deliberate choices and the sins of indecision that have fuelled the trend: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax-avoidance industry; and most critically, tax competition between nations. They argue it is not too late to change course. Instead of competition, we could choose co-operation, finding ways to create a tax regime that serves universal, democratic ends. The Triumph of Injustice offers a visionary and practical reinvention of taxes for that globalised world.

The most important book on government policy that I’ve read in a long time.”—David Leonhardt, The New York Times
"Written by Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman... it analyses how the super-rich dodge taxes, what this means and what to do about it... Theirs is a cogent, reasoned and practical argument against the “tax competition” that has sent so many corporate profits to Ireland or Bermuda and they give clear and compelling policy solutions to change the direction of society itself. It is a hope-inspiring book that should inform the manifesto of anyone keen to defend liberal democracy from the twin threats of inequality and multinational corporate power. Their recommendations would take back control, but for real, this time. The proposals put forward by Zucman and Saez deserve to be read in full, but are elegantly explained and well formulated."
