Welcome to Tax Foundation University, a free, 5-lecture series designed to equip policymakers and taxpayers with valuable and timely insights on tax policy and economics. In the first of five sessions, we’ll explain how to view the economy, the role that taxes play in the economy, and the various measures economists use to talk about the impact of taxes, including growth, wages, and employment.
