About this Event
You can learn a lot about a society by how it raises and spends the public’s money. In this talk, UVA professor and award-winning historian Andrew Kahrl will tell the history of taxation in America and how it shaped larger struggles for freedom and equality in the nation’s past. He will show how America’s localized tax system evolved, how it works, who it has tended to work for, and how it made the America we live in today. And he will tell the story of those who fought for a fairer tax system in the past and the lessons of those struggles for understanding American politics today.
