'… the book is a well-structured and well-written treatise on a subject area that is usually spared the critical academic eye … The points made are insightful, clear, and well-articulated … It is an unmissable addition to the library of anybody who wishes to stay well-informed about the underlying issues in tax law and beyond.' Michał Chodorowski, Edinburgh Law Review
