Book Announcement - State Tax Policy, Second Edition - By David Brunori

["Popson, Glenn" <GPopson@ui.urban.org>]

The Urban Institute Press is pleased to announce publication of State Tax
Policy, Second Edition, by David Brunori.

State tax systems are in trouble. Revenue collecting methods developed more
than a half-century ago are facing the strain of dealing with 21st century
economies. Globalization and e-commerce are changing the way people work and
purchase goods, devolution has steadily shifted responsibility from the
federal government to the states, and tax incentives have become the weapon
of choice in the battle to attract business investment. All this, in an
environment where antitax messages have become a staple of political
campaigns, has made creating tax policy more challenging than ever before.
In State Tax Policy: A Political Perspective, David Brunori analyzes these
and other critical challenges facing state governments. He identifies the
important issues and examines possible solutions in formulating and
implementing state tax policy. The new edition is updated to reflect five
years of legislative changes. The first edition was named an "Outstanding
Academic Book of the Year" by Choice magazine. Visit
