Professor Ventry, Francine Lipman '93 Contribute to New Critical Tax Anthology
Professor Dennis J. Ventry, Jr., and Francine Lipman '93, a professor of law at Chapman University School of Law, contributed to Critical Tax Theory: An Introduction, published in June by Cambridge University Press.
According to the publisher's description, the book "highlights and explains the major themes and methodologies of a group of scholars who challenge the traditional claim that tax law is neutral and unbiased. The contributors to this volume include pioneers in the field of critical tax theory, as well as key thinkers who have sustained and expanded the investigation into why the tax laws are the way they are and what impacts tax laws have on historically disempowered groups."
Professor Ventry is an expert in tax policy and has written widely on the subject. His research interests include family taxation, tax expenditure analysis, legal ethics and professional standards, tax and legal history, tax compliance and administration, and public finance.
