Prosper Australia is excited to announce leading international expert on tax law and policy Professor Miranda Stewart as speaker at the 124th Annual Henry George Commemorative Dinner. Miranda is Director of the Tax and Transfer Policy Institute at Crawford School, Australian National University.

She poses the question: What makes a successful tax state?

Her talk will consider the history of the successful ‘tax state’, or taxing government, from Adam Smith to the current global era. It will examine Australia in particular as a successful ‘tax state’, including the role of land and property taxes as part of the suite of taxes for a fair, efficient and resilient economy into the future.

Professor Miranda Stewart gave the annual lecture to the Prosper Society of Australia on 2 September 2015. The recording, slides and transcript are available here.
