"This is the most comprehensive and thoughtful treatise on estate taxation written in the twenty-first century. Joulfaian judiciously and perceptively summarizes all of what is known about what might be America's most controversial Federal tax."
--Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus, Harvard University
"A treasure trove of information on the history, revenue effects, legislative debates, and behavioral consequences of the estate and gift tax by one of the nation's leading, most experienced, and informed experts on the subject. No one—and, I mean, no one—should propose legislation, perform research, or simply try to understand taxes on the wealthy without this book on the top of the desk."
--Eugene Steuerle, Cofounder, the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center; author of Dead Men Ruling
