Dean Presents Global Jim Crow: Taxation And Racial Capitalism At The United Nations

Steven Dean (Boston University) presents his forthcoming book, Global Jim Crow: Taxation And Racial Capitalism (Oxford University Press), at the United Nations today as part of the Economic and Social Council's 2024 Special Meeting on International Cooperation in Tax Matters:

Global Jim Crow confronts the racial bias that is the original sin of international taxation. With the arrival of independence for Sub-Saharan African states racism and xenophobia began to shape those complex global rules in ways that have made them an obstacle to securing human rights and achieving sustainable development.

Addressing that bias has become an essential precondition for global tax justice.
