Harvard's Latest

As if the taxpayer-funded University of Pennsylvania professor calling for tax rates higher than 90% on the top 1% of earners weren't enough, now Harvard University Press, building on its "success" with Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century, "the fastest-selling book in the press's nearly 102-year history" is out with a new book calling for a 65% top marginal tax rate at the national level. The New York Times is doing its best to hype the book, having published not one but two columns in the past week touting the book and the 65% rate proposal.
