Abstract:

Twenty years after enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, this conference reviewed the politics and economics that drove the 1986 act, discussed problems with the current tax law that create a need for another round of reform in the near future, and considered the possible shape and long-term viability of future tax reform.
