说明

这是2012年由LibertyPen发布的一部课堂讲座，主题归在Microeconomics & behavioral economics。它讲的是tax code complexity这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：Milton Friedman explains why the US tax code is enormously complex and why meaningful reform is unlikely. He argues that politicians profit from the complexity, since tax breaks are products they sell and the code works as a tool of reward and punishment. The clip is about 14 minutes from his lecture series.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN commenters cite it whenever a thread touches on tax complexity, loopholes, or why companies like Intuit benefit from a convoluted tax system.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2013年到2022年，有3位不同的读者在3个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有1次。节奏接近上课，可以暂停做笔记。它假设你愿意跟着一条推导走完。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把tax code complexity变成能跟着复述的例子。
