{"product_id":"9781430239284","title":"Corporate Tax Reform: Taxing Profits in the 21st Century","description":"\u003cp\u003e    Corporate tax reform is in the air. Competitive pressures from globalization, as well as skyrocketing budget deficits, are forcing lawmakers to rethink how America’s largest businesses are taxed. Some want to close “loopholes.” Others want to end all U.S. tax on foreign profits. Some want to lower rates, while still others want to abolish the corporate tax altogether and replace it with an entirely new system.
