Yearly, thousands of PhD theses are defended and carefully stored in the university libraries’ or online. These precious books usually contain the most recent data and information on a problem, investigated at its most detailed level. Yet, because these are so technical and difficult to understand, you only get to know a very small amount out of that problem and its solution.
This not just a game, it is a game that acknowledges the academic outcomes and the intensive intellectual work that often remains in the shadow.

I truly hope you will get to learn many things out of it!

Shall we live in different times, perhaps we won’t need taxes anymore. At this moment, this is our reality and taxes are part of our lives. There are plenty of evidence that at least in more transparent economies, taxes really work! 😉 If you look at the cases of Sweden or Netherlands with high personal income tax rates, while people are living in a happy and relatively equal and free from worries society. Think about it..
