Pay Up!

In Pay Up!, John L. Campbell challenges the long-held conservative belief that cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations leads to economic prosperity. Drawing on historical and cross-national evidence, he systematically refutes claims surrounding the necessity and benefits of tax cuts, demonstrating instead that higher taxes can foster societal benefits, especially when they target those most able to pay. With clear prose and compelling arguments, Campbell offers a fresh perspective on the critical role taxes play in American society.
