Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is a result of a conference on U.S. foreign tax policy held by the Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation. The conference emphasized the need for U.S. companies to be able to compete abroad, and discussed reforms to help them overcome the burden inflicted on them by America's anti-foreign activity bias and protectionist tax policy. Just as bringing down the Berlin Wall freed the people of Eastern Europe, so must America's Berlin Wall, its tax policy, be brought down to free U.S. companies to compete globally. The contributions to the volume include: The U.S. Stake in the Next Global Bull Market: Foreign Business Tax Impediments to Investments; Tax Policy to Address the Challenges and Opportunities of the Growing World Marketplace; U.S. Foreign Tax Policy and American Business Competitiveness in the Global Marketplace; U.S. International Tax Policy: A View from High-Tech. Co-published with the Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation.
