Greetings, economist twitter! I invite you to pre-order Joel Slemrod and Mick Keen's forthcoming masterpiece, published by @PrincetonUPress.
As you can see from my name, the first author is my dad, and I want his book to make the NYT bestseller list.

The book is called “Rebellion, Rascals, and Revenue: Tax Follies and Wisdom through the Ages." A classic beach read. Won’t you, people I'm tagging but don’t know (except @wwwojtekk, hi) help me in my quest? @DinaPomeranz @Claudia_Sahm @umichECON @J_C_Suarez #makemydadsbookahit
While searching for people to help spread the word, I saw this quote from @jeffreypclemens: "Nobody does dry tax humor better than Joel Slemrod." I am fairly certain this is not one of the blurbs, but it should be. @JavierFerri1 @gsignoret Pre-order here:

Finally, to all of you whose timelines I've intruded on, please tag and share with your tax policy friends. Full disclosure: Every one of my title ideas was shut down and I write and edit for a living. Thank you all for helping as I try to #makemydadsbookahit This is my dad⬇️
I know I said "finally," but I just found out the real reviews on my dad's book are from @LHSummers and @Lagarde, among others. So you don't have to take my word for it on the quality of this forthcoming publishing sensation, which is good, because I haven't read it. #TaxTwitter
Update: My dad officially endorses this campaign and I will probably have to read all your tweets out loud to him on Facetime.
And we're rolling. #1 New Release in Taxation on @amazon
Hopefully you can also pre-order or buy my dad’s book at your local bookshop, including Slemrod family favorite @LiteratiBkstore. I have no clue if they carry it but a girl can dream.
