The second article comes from H David Rosenbloom and considers the debt ceiling debate and proposes specific steps toward an improved international tax system for the United States. In the third article Celeste M Black considers the taxation implications of Australia’s carbon pricing mechanism. The final article offers a quantitative analysis of tax decisions from 2001 to 2010 by Jeremy Hirschhorn and Alison Chen. A fascinating Part, to be sure.
