Episode 167: The Whiteness of Wealth with Dorothy Brown

“A lot of these provisions date back to a time that people want to think is behind us, but we drag it with us every April 15th.”

- Dorothy Brown

Kate finishes season one of Call My Agent and decides Doree is right about everything and Doree settles in for the long haul with a dark book rec. Then, Professor of Law and advocate for economic and social justice Dorothy Brown joins them to talk about her book The Whiteness of Wealth, the surprisingly interesting and shocking history of tax laws, and why she got fired from doing her parents’ taxes.
