California's Tax Machine: A History of Taxing and Spending in the Golden State

2008

Synopsis

California's Tax Machine is "an indispensable reference work on California's tax system and how it reached its current form," says Daniel Weintraub of The Sacramento Bee. "David Doerr gives us not only the facts about the tax code, but also the political backstory that puts those facts into context," he adds. This informative and entertaining book includes chapters on Ronald Reagan's tax policies when he was governor of California, the events leading up to the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, the Arnold Schwarzenegger administration, and much more.
