Personal Saving, Consumption, and Tax Policy
Marvin H. Kosters · 1992
52/100
👎 Skip It
This 1992 AEI policy monograph was credible specialist work in its moment, but decades of major tax law changes have made the specific analysis obsolete. Its value now is purely historical — useful only if you are researching early-1990s tax policy debates. General readers and most practitioners will find nothing actionable here.
