Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An extraordinarily well-documented, informative, and compelling analysis of the movement Ronald Reagan celebrated as 'a second American Revolution.'"
---Glenn C. Altschuler, Messenger"[An] insightful and disturbing analysis. . . . Through his accessible presentation of recent decades of political battles over interconnected issues, such as the right’s fight for the tax-exempt status of religious schools and its pushback against the IRS’s 1971 policy that tax-exempt schools must be racially nondiscriminatory, Graetz effectively makes the case that antitaxation has been ‘the most overlooked social and political movement in recent American history.’ This is a must-read for those concerned about the U.S. economy’s growing reliance on debt." * Publishers Weekly (Starred review) *
"Illuminating. . . . An accessible, searching look at the injustices built into the American way of taxation." * Kirkus Reviews *
"'The Power to Destroy' belongs in the growing pantheon of books that help us understand how the GOP became what it is today. It’s also an essential resource for understanding the fiscal storm clouds that Graetz sees on the horizon."
---Brian Rosenwald, Washington Post
