Review Quotes: "This one-of-kind study is an indispensable source for academics and policy makers who seek to explore the virtues of the property tax. The relevance of this volume clearly transcends the continent it embraces, and pertains to the large majority of countries at the global level that are now engaged in developing a property tax. This is a very impressive book."--John Norregaard, Tax Policy Consultant, Former Member of International Monetary Fund Tax Policy Team
