It offers clear and concrete ideas on how the reforms can be achieved and why they are important for a more just and equitable global system to prevail. The key to reducing the tax gap and consequent human rights deficit in poor countries is global financial transparency. Such transparency is essential to curbing illicit financial flows that drain less developed countries of capital and tax revenues, and are an impediment to sustainable development. A major break-through for financial transparency is now within reach. The policy reforms outlined in this book not only advance tax justice but also protect human rights by curtailing illegal activity and making available more resources for development. While the reforms are realistic they require both political and an informed and engaged civil society that can put pressure on governments and policy makers to act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Pogge, \u003cem\u003eLeitner Professor of Philosophy and International Affairs, Yale University\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKrishen Mehta, \u003cem\u003eSenior Advisor, Tax Justice Network, and Advisory Board, Aspen Institute Business and Society Program\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Pogge\u003c\/strong\u003e is Leitner Professor of Philosophy and International Affairs and founding Director of the Global Justice Program at Yale.
