Call for Book Reviews

The move to a digital-only format has allowed ATT to expand the types of materials we publish. One new feature is reviews of books and articles on topics of interest to our members. Reviews inform readers of recent publications pertaining to tax policy and emerging issues, as well as broader concerns about the interrelationship between tax policies and economic growth, income inequality and poverty. Reviews may be of single books or articles or they may be review essays that discuss and compare two or more books and articles addressing the same topic, similar to such review essays in the New York Review of Books. Reviews will be considered for publication in each issue of ATT.

Reviews should be no more than 2,000 words in length, though on rare occasions longer submissions will be accepted on consultation with the editor. Reviews should provide a concise introduction to the item’s primary themes and a critical analysis of its significance that considers strengths, weaknesses, and relevance to the field.

Here is an eclectic sampling of titles in our stacks for which ATT will consider a review.
