10 Minute Explainer: Income Tax History

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 5, 2019

For this membership drive, we will end each show with a ten minute explainer on a different topic each day. Up next, Jeremy Bearer-Friend, acting assistant professor of taxation at NYU Law School, explains the origins of the U.S. income tax and what it says about America's values.
