John Snape is Associate Professor of Law at the University of Warwick. Dominic de Cogan is Senior Lecturer in Tax Law, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Christ’s College, Cambridge.
Snape and de Cogan frame a book containing classic cases in tax law as a means of understanding the deeply social and political nature of tax law, revenue law, the government, and the people's interactions in what they hope will be a civilized society. Seeing issues from this more inclusive framing will allow legal scholars to contribute to that desired outcome without unnecessarily narrowing (and thus inevitably distorting) their focus. -- Neil H Buchanan * Jotwell *
