He is the author of the highly praised books If Americans Really Understood the Income Tax and 10 tax questions the candidates dont want you to ask (see www.10taxquestions.com). Professor Fox is a frequent media commentator on the distortions in the US tax system. His articles on whats right and wrong with the U.S. revenue system have appeared in The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and many other newspapers and internet sites. He presently teaches Winners and Losers, a course on U.S. tax policy at Mount Holyoke College.

Professor Foxs lecture focused on Making taxation more equitable. His talk illustrated the need for major systemic tax reforms as a matter of social justice. With the elections of President Obama and Prime Minister Rudd, Fox emphasized that governments have a fresh opportunity to now undertake a major reform of tax policies in order create a more just tax system.
