Join the IOP for a timely, insightful look at the future of U.S. tax policy featuring Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, and Austan Goolsbee, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors and Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. As the Trump Administration rolls out a tax proposal, what are the prospects for a grand bargain between Republicans and Democrats? From simplifying the tax brackets to reducing the corporate tax rate, what’s the likelihood of Trump’s proposal getting through Congress? What impact would this plan have on the economy, the deficit and individual incomes? And how might these potential policies affect the United States’ competitiveness in the fast-changing global economy? Moderating this debate is Noam Scheiber, reporter for The New York Times.
