This is a thoughtful analysis of the pros and cons of such possible dramatic reform. It should be read by every legislator, and by those who vote for legislators. BARBER B. CONABLE, JR. former member of Congress Real Tax Reform: Replacing the Income Tax JOHN H. MAKIN, Editor Is a consumption tax the key to fostering economic growth and labor productivity? Some economists and lawmakers say it is, but others call it grossly unfair because it saddles those least able to pay with a disproportionate share of the tax burden. Would a change to a consumption tax help growth? Must a consumption tax hurt the poor? Why haven't major tax reform proposals included a consumption tax alterna- tive? Has a consumption tax ever been seriously consid- ered? These and other questions are explored in this vol- ume by academics and lawmakers, including David Bradford, Michael Boskin, Don Fullerton, Richard Goode, Charles Hulten, Joseph Pechman, and Senator William V. Roth, Jr. JOHN H. MAKIN is director of Fiscal Policy Studies at the Ameri- can Enterprise Institute, a professor of economics at the Univer- sity of Washington, and a research associate with the National Bureau of Economic Research.
