Justice and Taxes. Comments to “The Rationality of Taxes” by F. Saffie

Abstract

According to the main paper the classical paradigm of taxation is flawed. Saffie presents an alternative model based on the idea of recognition and solidarity. The present paper criticizes the characterization of the classic paradigm and the alternative proposal as well. This paper challenges the inclusion of many authors in the classical paradigm and the grounds that allegedly support the alternative model based on solidarity and recognition.
