Linda McQuaig dared to write about the Canadian elite and expose the tax system that ensures their wealth grows and is protected. She took on the Brian Mulroney conservative government agenda in this effort and I loved the read for that.

I agree with McQuaig that we need to educate ourselves and our children about how capitalism works - how to resist the forces that impoverish us.

I read this book as a call to arms.

Doesn't look like too many people in Good Reads have read it.

I recommend it!

An interesting analysis of Canada's tax regime (at that time), though written through the lens of one who does not support the current role of capital allocation in our economic system.
