Is It Time to Export the U.S. Tax Model to Latin America?

Challenge, 2005, vol. 48, issue 3, pages 84-108

Abstract: There is a widespread view that high tax rates impede economic growth. This has certainly not been true in the United States. This economist argues that having a tax system akin to the one in the United States would enable countries in Latin America to spend on public investment in education, transportation, and health that is required for growth. Will high tax rates hurt growth?
