Picture of "The Price of Democracy." From the framing of the Constitution to the decades-long backlash to the civil rights movement, the battles most pivotal in defining our democracy have hinged on one issue: taxes. "Taxes are not just the lifeblood of government. They are the wellspring of democracy. That is the revelatory message of Vanessa Williamson's propulsive, panoramic history." --- Jacob Hacker. "I love this book... The Price of Democracy makes a convincing case that we must take back the power of taxation to restore our democracy." -- Heather Cox Richardson

Got the ball rolling on a Fed Economists starter pack go.bsky.app/GudXeoo

Fed economists, let me know if you’re on Bluesky and I’ll add you

I created a starter pack focused on the economics of taxation. I'm unsure if I can grant editing access, but please feel free to suggest any additions!
