    This class is an update on the annual saga of “human versus taxman." We will explore the origins of taxation and its development over the years with particular emphasis on some of the recent initiatives in this story. We will also examine the objectives of taxes as well as their many varieties. Some varieties are so well disguised we don’t realize they are taxes. With the 2026 elections fast approaching, there will likely be several “taxing” proposals for our discussion.

    A cynical Russian view claims “the job of a Russian historian is to predict the past.” This class will consist of a critical exploration of how our precious narratives may need to be questioned.

Please purchase or borrow the book "The King David Report" by Stefan Haym.
