"Taxes are essential for a properly functioning society": an interview with Dr. DT Cochrane

Generation Squeeze

Sep 02, 2022

Gen Squeeze's Paul Kershaw sits down to chat with DT Cochrane, lead economist with Canadians for Tax Fairness (C4TF). Their discussion ranges from the personal to the technocratic—including some reflections on DT's complicated relationship with the field of economics, the work C4TF is doing to close tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy few while leaving us all collectively poorer, and the inherently failure-prone terrain of policy-making.

Lots of great stuff in this one!
