BLURB: In a capitalist economy, taxes are more than a method of payment for government and public services. They are the most significant instrument by which the political system puts into practice a conception of economic justice. Yet there has been little effort to bring together important recent philosophical work on justice with vigorous debates about tax policy going on in national politics and public circles, in economics and law. *The Myth of Ownership* bridges this gap, offering the first book to explore tax policy from the standpoint of contemporary moral and political philosophy.
