This concise casebook distills the major themes of taxation. It offers well-developed problems and discussion questions in every chapter. The book is designed to help teachers and students make sense of both law and policy, and demands that students read the Code in addition to the text. Like the first edition, this edition develops a running analysis of income-tax and consumption-tax elements in the Code. It also focuses on the social policy effects of the tax law. The second edition is fully updated through the 2009 Stimulus Act.

(This edition again blends a traditional casebook approach...)
This edition again blends a traditional casebook approach with a problem method, to develop student understanding of the relevant rule structure pertinent to the transfer of wealth. The transactional organization facilitates student comprehension by repeatedly exposing students to certain themes, such as reason for deductibility, taxation based on passage of economic benefit, and valuation. Federal Taxations of Estates, Trusts and Gifts begins with discussion of the development of the basic rules governing the transfer taxation of the simple estate, outright gifts, generation-skipping transfers, and the income taxation of trust and estates. The authors then explore more complex transactions, such as trusts with retained interests or powers, from the perspective of all four tax systems. The Third Edition includes greatly expanded coverage of the income taxation of estates, trusts, and their beneficiaries, which should provide sufficient materials and problems to teach a two-credit course on this subject. This new edition also: • Incorporates all relevant changes made by the Tax Act of 2001 • Expands treatment of valuation issues that involve FLP's and LLC's • Adds new cases, including Estate of O'Neal v. United States (2001), Estate of Starkey v. United States (2002), Estates of Jones v. Commissioner (2000) and Estate of Swanson v. United States (2001) • Includes new rulings and regulaitons, including Rev. Rule 2000-2 and Treasury Regulations on minimum required distribution and income taxation of trusts and estates • Revises old problems and creates new problems based on the Tax Act of 2001

( As we approach the 21st century, we must rethink our ce...)
As we approach the 21st century, we must rethink our centralized monetary system as part of a larger reexamination of existing political economy, according to Solomon. In questioning the passive acceptance of a federal monopoly in producing money, the author challenges prevailing notions of progress and economic life. Advancing the idea of local currencies to promote a political economy based on empowerment, self-reliance, and ecological permanence, the book discusses three viable systems, all of which are possible under federal and state laws: barter, customer discounts, and local scrip not pegged to the U.S. dollar. The business and practical aspects of each of these systems is considered. This original work will be of interest to scholars, students, and policy-makers in political economy, money and banking, public finance, and public policy.

This book will help readers make better, more informed choices as they or their loved ones face: the onset of a terminal illness or an incurable, chronic, debilitating condition; a lengthy period of debility and frailty, with ever greater and more demeaning physical or mental weakness and dependency; or a hopeless medical condition marking the final agony of a fatal illness. The author wants readers to face the process of dying and death in the twenty-first century informed by the Jewish tradition. To help them make sound end-of-life choices and deal with their angst and ambivalence, the book presents a wide spectrum of viewpoints from the various strands of contemporary Judaism- traditional (Orthodox) and more liberal (Conservative and Reform).

When we think about Judaism, we often focus on mechanical repetition and cookbook-like observances and rules. Yet, according to author Lewis D. Solomon, the ceremonies, rituals, and all the accompanying rules and regulations are the byways of Judaism, not its highways or its essence. For many, the ceremonies and rituals, although designed to open and touch the spiritual dimension of existence, often block their spiritual life and vitality. Jewish Spirituality: Revitalizing Judaism for the Twenty–First Century offers the vision of a personal, intimate experience of a living God as the source of health, joy, love, abundance, and wholeness. It is designed to help us meet and surmount our daily problems as well as the crises we all face in living and, ultimately, in dying. True to its practical orientation, Jewish Spirituality focuses on an approach to living that is liberating, promotes and unfolds our inner human possibilities, and helps us realize our highest self as well as those of others around us.

The best-selling "Asset Protection Strategies" has been well received since its publication in September 1993. A second volume is now being added to create a two-volume set with an accompanying disk. This two-volume set provides guidance to professionals on how to protect their clients assets and minimize the risk of exposure to litigation claims and other creditors. In addition to advice on choice business entity, domestic trusts, concurrent property ownership and bankruptcy exemptions, the books provide advice on unusual protection devices that most professionals are not familiar with such as off-shore trusts, foreign bank accounts and family limited partnerships. Included in volume two are all forms that are important to planners in implementing an asset protection plan. All forms are included on an accompanying disk formatted in WordPerfect 5.1. The books emphasize practice aids with "planning pointers" and "warnings" appearing throughout to assist the planner in properly devising and drafting asset protection plans and documents. Checklists are also included in most chapters to assist the professional and to make certain that no critical planning or drafting issue is overlooked.
