Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute on Corporate Taxes and Global Tax Competition

We continue our discussion on corporate taxes with Chris Edwards, Director of Tax Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. Chris has written a new book with Cato Senior Fellow Daniel Mitchell called Global Tax Revolution: The Rise of Tax Competition and the Battle to Defend It. While the country is going through tough economic times, Chris argues that the United States must embrace competition and overhaul the federal tax code, including reforming business taxes. In this edition of the Tax Foundation's Tax Policy Podcast, Chris reflects much of the message of our CompeteUSA campaign and discusses tax reforms that have been enacted in several nations, emphasizing that international tax competition is an often forgotten, yet exciting aspects of globalization.
