The Tax Justice Network does a great podcast called the taxcast (just type taxcast into youtube) where you can learn more and hear from some fantastic academics and activists working on this issue. And if you want some info from the voices of the establishment go to: http://www.ft.com/topics/themes/Tax_E... http://www.economist.com/topics/tax-e...
