• Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is by last week's guest Bruce Bartlett. It's titled "The Benefit And The Burden, Tax Reform, Why We Need It And What It Will Take." If you caught last week's show, you know Bartlett is in favor of a value-added tax, a VAT, and he lays out his case eloquently, but the book is much broader than that.”
