With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few.

Inspirado en las investigaciones de la doctora Clementina Battcock y arropado por el espíritu de memoria del Paseo de la Mujer Mexicana, este libro nace como un acto de justicia y visibilidad.
