A tax on economic rent is an ideal tax. This means that there are no distortions that shift the burden of tax onto the economically weak, reduce investment, reduce growth, increase unemployment, and apply an invisible "tax on tax" that reduces the amount of tax revenue raised. Economic rent taxes are free of these harmful effects. This book describes how to design an economic rent tax. It goes into the theory of economic rent taxes, and practical issues such as how to tax individuals and banks. It also covers an estimate of revenue gains when this tax is used to displace all other taxes.
