Taxes connect us to one another, to the common good, and to the future. This is a book about taxes: who pays what and who gets what. More than that, it’s about the role of government, about citizenship and our collective well-being, about the Canada we want. The contributors, leading Canadian practitioners and scholars, explore how taxes have become a political “no-go zone” and how changes in taxation are changing Canada. They challenge the view that any tax is a bad tax and provide broad directions for fairer and smarter approaches.

Therefore, I am writing this book, to that kid and to any person looking for some wisdom about life.

No sé si este audiolibro es una novela, un diario de no ficción o qué. Trata sobre el deseo de morir y de vivir. Sobre el amor y las preguntas que este despierta. Y sobre el dolor, sobre todo sobre el dolor: el de ella, mi esposa, que me pide la muerte, y el mío, que no se la puedo dar. Éste es el diario de un cobarde que superó un cáncer y ahora se enfrenta, escaso de fuerzas, al cáncer terminal de su mujer.
