West's Business Law, tenth edition

The book came in a sealed cover. Although it looks brand new, it does say it is "used". You would never know it. It came in a timely manner and when I followed up w/the seller to see when it shipped, they sent me back an e-mail within a few hours. I would highly recommend using Off Campus Athens again. 05388800155112007-07-17

Great Book To Keep

I have been through a few bad and good text books throughout my college career, but this had to be one of the best I ever picked up. It is easy to search through and actually makes the topics interesting to read.05388800155002007-05-09

The book had great case studies but the best part were the on line review tests. I got 100 on the final!!The Interactive CD-ROM Edition is based on the best-selling WEST'S BUSINESS LAW text and can be used either as a stand-alone item or in conjunction with the text.

This Could Be The Right Book For you

If you are considering personal bankruptcy, will satisfy the new means test or have a steady w-2 income you may want to file bankruptcy under Chapters 7 or 13. If you are considering one of the chapters, this is a great book for you. For businesses or individuals with more substantial assets or income, the appropriate Chapter would be Chapter 11. The book that I like on that subject is Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers087337827X413132007-04-25

Very helpful resource

This review refers to the 13th edition of the book, which does cover the new bankruptcy law revision of 2006. Please read the editorial and customer reviews as to why this book was so helpful. <br /> <br />The author does a good job explaining how to file your own bankruptcy "pro se" (which means you are your own attorney and responsible for finding the answers to your own legal questions.) <br /> <br />At the time the 13th edition was printed, the author didn't know if any of the state bankruptcy courts would grant an indigent filer relief from the bankruptcy filing fee. This is because there was a difference between the federal agency that created the exemption document and the agency that says such requests can be granted. Apparently, this difference of opinion has since been resolved. In my state, Washington, the judge did grant me exemption from filing the court fee, a savings of over [...]. <br /> <br />My bankruptcy was a pretty straightforward chapter 7, even though I had taken out a business license as a sole proprietor. As I had no clients and no business income, I could go ahead and file as an individual. <br /> <br />The author commends the reader for having taken charge of their financial crisis and having made the difficult decision to file for bankruptcy. It would also have been helpful if he'd included a few helpful tips on emotional and mental preparation. For example, people under stress tend to forget common sense advice like: get enough sleep, exercise, and healthy food. Organize all your financial records in a quiet and neat environment, etc. Write down what you've done and what you need to accomplish. And so forth. <br /> <br />In my case, because I could have been better organized, I ended up paying two times an amendment fee because I forgot to include all creditors on my mailing matrix and other related forms. <br /> <br />(As a side note, many credit card companies own their own credit collections agencies with completely different names. To be on the safe side, list both the original creditor and the "collection agency" that they supposedly "sold" the debt to in your bankruptcy forms. However, when totaling the debt, do not count the same amount twice. On your mailing matrix, include both the original creditor and any collection agencies they have sold their debt to. This will cover your rear end. If you list only the collection agency and not the original creditor, you might be responsible for paying off the debt because the original creditor wasn't listed in your bankruptcy forms.) <br /> <br />Student loans are usually not discharged but you should go ahead and list them anyway so the judge knows your total debt load. <br /> <br />Most filers choose to hire an attorney. I was one of three people who chose to go "pro se" out of over 30 filers. That really surprised me. My meeting with the trustee lasted less than five minutes. <br /> <br />Just because someone goes with an attorney doesn't mean that attorney will be complete and thorough. I witnessed two attorneys who did not properly prepare their clients for potential questions the trustee asked, all of which are described in this book in a special listing. In my case, the trustee did not ask all the questions listed in the book but I was sure glad the author listed them so I could be prepared in case he did choose to ask them. Did those people get their money's worth? I don't know. <br /> <br />The creditor's meeting is when you can tell the trustee if there have been any changes since you first filed for bankruptcy. Since this meeting is recorded now is the time to tell them. In my case, I reported assets I had failed to list (hobby supplies, etc.), assets that had been stolen from my home this month, and a car I no longer owned as it had been auctioned off by a towing company. <br /> <br />The two biggest reasons people file for bankruptcy are medically related and poor credit card usage. Both those reasons fit my profile. (Actually, I was very good at using a credit card as I remember charging them to the limit.) I cut up all my credit cards and now use only my debit card, cash, or checks. I now have a financial budget and feel like a load has been lifted off my shoulders. <br /> <br />The only reason I have for repairing my credit rating is if I choose to buy a house. At this time I don't have any plans for doing so. However, for those who do want to improve their credit score, your best bet is to see if your local credit union or bank will give you a secured credit card, which will only allow you to "charge" amounts that you have placed in a special account tied to the card. It is a combinations debit and credit card. You can only "charge" what is in your secured account but you get the protection and benefits of a credit card. <br /> <br />The new law states that filers must take a pre and post budget class. These cost money in Washington state. <br /> <br />If you choose to go "pro se" but hire a typist to prepare your documents, you are still responsible for all the information contained in the forms. <br /> <br />Beware that your filing is public knowledge. I was surprised at the number of predatory lenders that sent me mail immediately after I filed. There was also one attorney who sent me a solicitation letter. You must shred all these letters for your own good.087337827X5332007-01-05

Most updated Chapter 7 Bankruptcy book

This is the most recent Chapter 7 Bankruptcy book from NOLO, published May 2006. <br />Another one will be published April 2007, ISBN 1413306276. <br />I trust Nolo books with my eye closed, their legal content is totally updated ! ... I am a big Nolo fan!used many of their books! <br />Check out The New Bankruptcy - Will it Work for You?087337827X410102006-01-12

Out-of-date, but still good for background material.

Stephen Elias et al., How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, Twelfth Edition (Nolo Press, 2005) <br /> <br />Well, I missed the boat on this one. I'd hoped the 2005 12th edition would cover the bankruptcy law changes in some detail, but nope-- this one still covers the old laws. If you're thinking about filing for bankruptcy now, you will likely be better off waiting for Elias' new one, he New Bankruptcy: Will It Work for You? (Nolo, 2006).At this point, it really only has value as an archival document, or something you pick up for background reading while waiting for the new book (after all, not everything in bankruptcy law has changed; you'll still get some valuable info out of this). <br /> <br />The book does an excellent job of explaining why, in general, you don't really need a lawyer to file Chapter 7. Elias etc. go through the forms line-by-line, with copious explanation and recommendations of when you will need a lawyer based on your answers to a number of the questions. <br /> <br />Solid stuff, I just with I'd gotten to it earlier. Now, I'm in the same boat you are-- waiting for the new one (which was supposed to drop Dec. 19, 2005, but oesn't seem to have seen the light of day yet). *** ½In these times of massive credit card debt and stagnating incomes, filing for bankruptcy has become the only relief for thousands of people. The information in <i>How to File for Bankruptcy</i> is so complete that a person can file virtually on his own, without needing to hire a lawyer. By no means does the book encourage filing for bankruptcy, but it will help anyone in serious financial trouble determine if bankruptcy might be a sensible course to take, and examines what kind is appropriate for different individuals. All of the necessary forms are included, complete with explicit directions. Like all Nolo Press titles, this is a straightforward, no-nonsense book of useful advice and specific guidance, written in clear, easy-to-understand language. If you're feeling overwhelmed by your bank balance, Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can offer welcome relief. It allows you to get rid of most of your debts, and it forces creditors and collection agencies to stop their collection efforts. <P>For nearly a decade, this friendly, comprehensive guide has helped more than 200,000 people cope with their debts. How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy takes you through the filing process, gives you real-world, practical advice and all the official bankruptcy forms you'll need. <P>Use How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to: <BR>*decide if bankruptcy is the right step to take <BR>*determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy <BR>*fill out and file all forms <BR>*cancel the largest amount of debt possible <BR>*identify which debts will survive bankruptcy <BR>*keep the maximum amount of property <BR>*deal with secured debts <BR>*represent yourself in routine bankruptcy hearings <BR>*dismiss your case if you change your mind about filing <BR>*rebuild your credit after bankruptcy <P>Easy-to-use worksheets and charts help you calculate what you own, how much you'll be able to keep, and figure out if you can retain your home. The book also contains exemptions for every state to ensure that you keep as much property as you can. <P>This book does not cover business bankruptcies, farm reorganizations or individual repayment plans (Chapter 13). For Chapter 13 bankruptcy, see Nolo's Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Repay Your Debts.141330633014133085540471773808189294934206098092612628Business & Investing: Industries & Professions: Accounting: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2722Business & Investing: Personal Finance: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books10883Law: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books10963Law: Practical Guides: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books10991Law: Taxation: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books227537Professional & Technical: Law: Taxation: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books266118Professional & Technical: Accounting & Finance: Accounting: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books10793Bankruptcy173486Business10777Law1000Subjects283155Books173483Practical Guides2733Business10934Living Wills10973Real Estate10999Wills10777Law1000Subjects283155Books227138Taxation10869Estates & Trusts10777Law1000Subjects283155Books16252511Private Law10777Law1000Subjects283155Books227447Bankruptcy227444Business173518Law173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books227536Taxation227538Estates & Trusts173518Law173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0813342384http://www.amazon.com/Americans-Really-Understood-Income-Tax/dp/0813342384%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D08133423841247699http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tz03nnGXL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tz03nnGXL._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tz03nnGXL._SL500_.jpg500333John O FoxPaperback6579780813342382750813342384Basic BooksEnglishEnglishEnglish8791795USD$17.95Basic Books1366Book2004-03-04Basic BooksBasic Books105595227USD$2.27227USD$2.271995USD$19.9511111011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewqJ%2FzZR2ieNUIcPCj7l5fuAZ0YVMz3w0PL%2F12grrYY3Sile4iNe23b1sbwRXcPVI4GA5Nj4DnOafpOcPy8Y9TTA%3D%3D1795USD$17.95Usually ships in 24 hours4.517408133423845392005-05-12

Only the FairTax Outfoxes Fox

John Fox says the values of our government are represented in the tax system and that Congress has pursued social and economic programs through the tax system by using deductions and credits that amount to 3 trillion dollars (in 2000) of un-taxed income. <br /> <br />John Fox obviously loves the FairTax. The FairTax does all those things and more, repealing the income tax, employee taxes, corporate taxes and more while fully funding the US government. Everyone also gets a monthly rebate so noone pays any tax at all up to the poverty level. <br /> <br />Fox says the U.S. would have a stronger economy without these provisions. He suggests doing away with all but the most essential special relief provisions, and implementing a simpler tax code that would reduce taxes for all brackets. <br /> <br />If we get rid of the income tax and become the first nation on earth to NOT tax productivity, "outsourced" jobs return and foreign companies come to America to do business. <br /> <br />Everything John Fox advocates is taken just a step farther with the FairTax.08133423845442004-07-06

Must read

John Fox's take on taxes is a must read for anyone who cares about tax equity and the well-being of the body politic. When I first studied taxes as an employee of the California Legislature -- now nearly four decades ago -- we learned that simple equity -- equal treatment of equals -- was the first principle of a fair and just tax system; absent equity the system would be manifestly unfair and eventually would lose its legitimacy, the greatest danger a democratic republic can face. As Fox points out,that's exactly what's happening with modern tax policy -- regressive, unfair, unjust are the attributes that leap out at you. But Fox does more than point the finger of blame; he offers constructive suggestions to get the system back where it belongs, to restore fairness and legitimacy.081334238413502002-03-16

Income Tax Ignorance

Plain and simple, the Amercan people know nothing when it comes to Income Taxes.They know nothing about their Constitutional Rights with regards to the Income Tax and they do not know how to use the three Internal Revenue Code Sections in the Prvacy Act Notice in the 1040 instruction booklet. An old saying is quoted by judges; "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse". The very first IRC section in the Privacy Act Notice is 6001. Most people would not know where to search for the information of this code section. The very first sentence implies Liability. In looking in the Index of the IRC under Liability for Tax, you will find all of the subjects that are taxed. Income is NOT one of them. For tax purposes, Income is defined by the Supreme Court as a Gain or Profit earned by Privlege. Every citizen of the USA has a Right to work for compensation. I rated this book low and the little bit of expose offered is proof that the author does not know or implies he does not know the Truth about the Income Tax.081334238412412002-03-16

My wife took my copy and I will have to buy another.

This is an excellent book. It has been written in a comprehensive style that can enlighten taxpayers as well as tax professionals. Every one can benefit from the collected information and well-conceived opinions of Mr. Fox. This book can serve as a wellspring to initiate questions, debate, or perhaps a citizen's revolt against our present archaic, confusing, and unequal tax system. Mr. Fox has obviously been working on this book for several years, but his phenomenal foresight has placed this brilliant work in our hands at just the right moment when we consider the major tax law changes now being considered by the U.S. Executive and Legislative branches of our government. The proposed changes could have a profound negative effect on our children and us. In the 18th century American citizens had a tea party in Boston because of unfair taxes. What will our generation do? Whimper and complain or become informed and proactive?<div>One hundred eighty million Americans file income tax returns, almost as many complain about the system, yet few understand the underlying social and economic outcomes. This book carves open the belly of the income tax for Americans who never have had the opportunity to learn about it, and empowers Americans to make informed judgments about what income tax laws would be best. John Fox explains how the laws represent the most comprehensive expression of official government values. Fox also elucidates how special relief provisions far exceed in sheer dollars and importance programs funded directly through the federal budget, and why these special provisions typically fail to advance tax justice or economic growth. Fox presents a compelling argument that our nation's interests would be best served by overhauling the system through reforms that eliminate all but the most essential special relief provisions, while reducing tax rates across the board. Such reforms, he argues, are far more compatible with principles of liberals and conservatives than is today's system. Part primer, part manifesto, <i>If Americans Really Understood the Income Tax</i>is sure to open the eyes of tax-paying Americans and earn the respect of policy experts.</div>B0008102D6052023610606718715791591841917052154520X2535General2533Taxes2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2627Financial2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2588Economic Policy & Development2581Economics3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2598Money & Monetary Policy2581Economics3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books355577011Popular Economics2546Labor Policy2550Policy & Current Events3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books227138Taxation10869Estates & Trusts10777Law1000Subjects283155Books227536Taxation227538Estates & Trusts173518Law173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books720030Federal Government10753Government53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books2592Business & Investing: Popular Economics: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2612Business & Investing: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books10991Law: Taxation: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books227537Professional & Technical: Law: Taxation: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books491474Public Policy491464Political Science468214Social Sciences465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books491514Tax Law468222Law465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books491564Accounting468220Business & Finance465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books319654011Qualifying Textbooks368369011All Titles368370011Arts & Photography368371011Biographies & Memoirs368372011Business & Investing368373011Children's Books368375011Computers & Internet368376011Cooking, Food & Wine368377011Engineering368378011Entertainment368379011Gay & Lesbian368380011Home & Garden368381011Literature & Fiction368382011Medicine368384011Nonfiction368385011Outdoors & Nature368386011Parenting & Families368387011Professional368388011Reference368389011Religion & Spirituality368391011Science368393011Teens368394011Travel251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books087337262Xhttp://www.amazon.com/Tax-Savvy-Small-Business-Year-Round/dp/087337262X%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D087337262X4499567Frederick W Attorney DailyPaperback343.73052689780873372626Import75087337262XNoloEnglishEnglish1100NoloBook1995NoloNolo1608501800USD$18.001USD$0.0111000004.0164087337262X5352004-09-10

This Book Saved Me

I bought this book as soon as I was notified of an upcoming IRS audit. The sections on reconstructing logs and receipts really saved me. The auditor accepted everything that I reconstructed. I also knew exactly what to expect at the audit. I am now keeping my records in a way that leaves me unafraid of the IRS anymore. This book, along with Mr. Daily's "Stand Up To the IRS" is the best investment I have ever made in my small business. 087337262X5342004-06-19

A Great Buy

I am fan of the nolo.com website and I am a bigger fan of the Nolo Books. We started our software company as and LLC and turned it into a corporation a couple of years ago. I didn't buy this book before that point, but wish I did. Either way it is great that I have the book now. The book is well organized and I read through it cover to cover originaly. Tax Savvy now sits on my desk and I can use it as a quick reference. I am the kind of person that likes to know the "what, how and why" before I talk to our accountants or our lawyers, and this book enables me to do that. Bottom line... a must have087337262X5672004-05-18

Amazing!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This book has saved my business thousands of dollars! Amazingly it is both comprehensive and accessible. Daily is hugely knowlegable and a great writer. He lays out strategy after strategy to minimize wasted time and maximize profit. I thought I knew what I was doing before but this book has opened up whole new worlds of opportunity for me. I better learned what I can and can't deduct, how to take advantage of fringe benefits, how to reduce IRS penalties and much more. Tax Savvy for Small Business is literally worth its weight in gold.087337262X420222003-08-11

Excellent overview - concise and to the point.

This guide is different from the many tax guides out there from big names like Ernst & Young, etc. because it is more focussed on small businesses and you get the most relevant information in the most concise fashion. There in lies the limitation of this great book. You may have to refer to the other tax guides if your particular situation is too unique. <p>But the conciseness and focussed approach was extremely helpful in clarifying a lot of points for me. I had tried reading several of the bigger guides (with three times as many pages as this book) and gotten confused because it was too much information. So when I saw the Nolo guide, I was pleasantly surprised that every topic in the book was relevant to me as a small business owner! It was perfect for my needs. I now started understanding the very same topics I had so much difficulty following in the other books. For example - I was trying to research the differences between S Corporations and LLCs. When I opened this Nolo guide, I went straight to the chapter on LLCs and read the section - Comparing LLCs with Other Entities. In one sentence I knew the difference between these two entities! According to the book, the basic difference being that you can allocate income and expenses disproportionately (to share ownership) in an LLC but not in a S Corporation! Wow! I liked the speed with which I could find this critical piece of information I was researching.<p>The book is divided into 6 parts - The Basics (Business Income and Tax Deductible Expenses, Recordkeeping and Accounting, etc.), The Form of Your Business (Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, S Corporations, etc.), Thinking Small (Family Businesses, Microbusinesses and Home-Based Businesses), Fringe Benefits (Retirement Plans etc.), Buying or Selling a Business, and Dealing with the IRS. There isn't a single page that is irrelevant.<p>If you have very advanced questions, you are better off looking through a bigger book but you would benefit tremendously by reading this book first. It will give you a firm grounding in the basics across the board. Good luck!087337262X5352002-09-03

Crucial Information

This book contains must have information for anyone owning an IRA. I had a previous version and wanted to keep current as I approach the magic age. This book tells you how to avoid fines and penalties from the dastardly IRS. Keep as much of your hard earned savings as possible for as long as possible by reading this book several times then saving it for future reference. I also marked many pages for my beneficiaries just in case. Do yourself a favor and invest in this book.08733779155442005-08-29

Very User Friendly!

The book is well organized. I was able to use it, immediately, to answer 'basic questions' to help a relative avoid a costly mistake and, more importantly, to learn 'options' that could help. Though I am an insurance agent, I've had little exposure to the 401(k), IRA, etc., market. This book is quickly moving me to the 'top 20% group' of informed agents and financial advisors. I highly recommend it, thanks to Ed Slott! 0873377915558592005-05-05

Pay attention to the sub-title

The reviewer plugging the "MarketBuster" book has totally missed the point of this NOLO book, which is given in the subtitle: Taking Your Money Out. The reviewer is talking about strategies for growing your account. <br /> <br />When you're in the savings/growing mode you're in a whole different situation than you're in when you're having to withdraw and/or live off your account. Going from one to the other requires a major change in strategy and, more important, a MAJOR change in mindset and, often, life style. <br /> <br />You're confronted with a whole new set of regulations, whether the reason for the change is retirement, inheriting an account, etc. The biggest change in mindset is that instead of the pleasant pre-retirement situation of watching the money accumulate, you have to recognize that you're now going to be watching it DECLINE. And unless you've got a tremendously more than sufficient account, you're going to have to live with the knowledge that you could outlive the account, possibly due to your own mistakes, some of which this book can help you avoid. <br /> <br />Four years ago I was confronted with making this shift a whole lot sooner than I'd planned, and with getting control of my retirement accounts under conditions where I had little help. Without the previous edition of this NOLO book, I would have been totally lost and probably made serious mistakes. <br /> <br />Now, one caveat: This book does not tell you how to MANAGE your withdrawals and account so as to produce INCOME; as one should expect from NOLO press as a LEGAL advice publishing house, it deals with the nuts, bolts, traps and hazards of the PROCESS of getting the money out. <br /> <br />In my situation I also found that there is not a whole lot of good material out there on the subject of managing your money and account IN the WITHDRAWAL stage, and this subject is affecting more and more people, as the country shifts from defined benefit (pensions) plans to plans like 401Ks and IRAs that place the job of investing and managing on the individual. <br /> <br />It is a whole lot more complex, risky, and stressful than most people realize, especially considering the general abysmal education (lack of) even young people receive on the subject, let alone people my age who were raised to count on pensions, etc. (And thank goodness for Social Security, which while far from adequate, can still supply a firm base of about 30 to 50% of a retirement income; although that's another issue) <br /> <br />So I recommend this book as essential for the basic procedures, but you will also need additional information on how to manage your income account(s). Personally, in addition to a good fee based financial planner, I found invaluable help from folks who have actually been doing the job for years, especially in the forums of Morningstar, for example. But you have to be on constant alert for scamsters and the whole "how to be a billionaire" publishing crowd. You're going to have to invest some serious time and effort in educating yourself for a the whole new job of retirement, and this book is an excellent place to start, preferably BEFORE you actually have to start TAKING YOUR MONEY OUT.<I>IRA's, 401(k)s & Other Retirement Plans</I>, by financial specialists Twila Slesnick and John C. Suttle, is a solid self-help legal look at a critical back-end issue that most of us blissfully ignore until we absolutely must confront it. The authors themselves admit it is not a compelling page-turner, but rather a comprehensive resource that at some point should prove indispensable to everyone with a retirement plan. They describe the various plans available--including Roth IRAs, to which an entire chapter is devoted--focusing on distribution rules, associated taxes, and potential penalties. They offer details on early distributions used to pay higher-education expenses or health-insurance premiums (which are not subject to taxes, under certain explicit conditions), distributions you must take during your lifetime (when they begin, how they're computed, what happens if your beneficiary changes), and distributions made after an account holder dies (largely concentrating on administrative procedures that could help you avoid unnecessary financial loss). Helpful appendices include relevant IRS forms, notices, and schedules as well as life-expectancy tables. <i>--Howard Rothman</I>If you are: <P>* approaching retirement... <P>* retiring early... <P>* changing jobs... <P>* looking to borrow money from your retirement plan... <P>* wondering what to do with an inherited plan... <P>...you need this book!

New Institutional Economics

The essays in this book are the foundation for New Institutional Economics. Coase arrived at a simple explanation for institutions: transaction costs. In 1937 Coase argued that organizations exist because of high transaction costs, or what he referred to as market costs. This 1937 article became chapter two. It also became the basis for the modern theory of the firm, as developed by Williamson, Demsetz, Fama, and many others. <br /> <br />Coasean economics is important because it pushes us to make fair and realistic comparisons between private and public institutions. In 1959 Coase published an article on the Federal Communications Commission which demonstrated that market imperfections do not automatically imply the need for government regulation. Transaction costs make markets imperfect, but government suffers from its own imperfections. In 1969 Harold Demsetz explained the Coasean approach to institutional analysis in his "Institutions and Efficiency, another Viewpoint". Coase's opponents are guilty of committing the Nirvana Fallacy. Economists used to condemn markets for failing to deliver ideal conditions. Those who compare real imperfect markets to an idealized perfect government will always "prove" the need for government regulation. In reality, the nirvana of perfect government never exists, so the need for governmental intervention is always questionable. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, this 1959 article did not make it into this book. Instead, Coase used his 1960 follow up paper "The Problem of Social Cost" (chapter five) to explain his ideas about law and economics. Chapter five explains "The Coase Theorem" and "The Invariance Proposition". The 1960 paper on social costs is an outgrowth of an informal debate between Coase and Milton Friedman. This is a rare instance where Friedman admitted defeat. Given Friedman's talent for debate, Coase's victory is not a small matter. Having proven his point to the satisfaction of the Chicago economics faculty, Coase was able to join this faculty and edit The Journal of Law and Economics. Not bad for an informal after-dinner debate. <br /> <br />The reprinting of the Problem of Social Cost is important because so many economists misconstrue the Coase Theorem. Contrary to what many believe, Coase does not assume that transaction costs are zero. The idea of zero transaction costs is just a thought experiment. Coase saw little value in thought experiments. The real message from Coase is that we should focus on real examples where transaction costs are positive and vary. Good institutions are the ones that reduce transaction costs to a minimal level. Coase explains his position further in chapter six: notes on the problem of social cost. It is also important to guard against George Stigler's misinterpretation of Coase. The idea that all institutions are imperfect does not imply that we arrive at the least imperfect institutions. <br /> <br />The Marginal Cost Controversy (Chapter Four) and the Lighthouse in Economics (chapter seven) are also notable. Coase demonstrated that Abba Lerner and Harold Hotelling were wrong about the need for government to subsidize firms with declining average costs. Besting Lerner and Hotelling is no small feat. In chapter seven Coase took on none other than John Stuart Mill. It turns out that lighthouses are not necessarily public goods. History and common sense show that entrepreneurs can supply lighthouses for profit. <br /> <br />The Firm, the Market, and the Law is brilliant, but often misunderstood. This is hard to explain because it is highly readable and thought provoking. Some of its points are simple, others are subtle, but they are all well reasoned. Most of the misunderstandings about this book seem to derive from the fact that some people judge Coasean economics based on what they have heard, rather than from reading this book. While I do not agree with everything in this book, reading it (and re-reading it) has made me a better economist. All social scientists and legal scholars could benefit from reading The Firm, the Market, and the Law, if they have not read it already.02261110164002008-03-05

The Brilliance of Ronald Coase...

Ronald Coase is a fantastic economist. He writes with great lucidity and a confidence which suggests to the reader that his arguments "fall into the category of truths which can be deemed self-evident" (page 1). Coase's principal aim in these essays is to correct what he believes to be the flaws of mainstream economic theory. In the process of doing so, he asks some remarkably novel and challenging questions, but in the end fails to pursue them consistently, arriving at conclusions which employ the same assumptions by those whom he is trying to refute. <br /> <br />The book consists of seven essays. Very briefly, the first essay is an introduction in which Coase describes his economic outlook while introducing the concepts contained in each of the following essays. The remaining six essays can be divided up as follows. Chapters two and three contain discussions of the firm. The second essay is the highly influential "The Nature of the Firm" essay while the third essay applies these arguments to a general research proposal on industrial organization. Chapter four and seven are essays which can be described as historical. Chapter four summarizes and contributes to the "marginal cost controversy." For those with little exposure to this issue, this essay can be passed over. Chapter seven is the famous "The Lighthouse in Economics" which challenges the public goods argument by showing that the lighthous has historically been provided by private companies. The remaining two chapters contain arguments and notes on what has come to be called "The Coase Theorem." Chapter five is the actual essay "The Problem of Social Cost" and chapter six contains a series of replies to various criticisms that have been directed at the arguments presented in "The Problem of Social Cost" essay. <br /> <br />Clearly, the best aricles in this book are chapters two and five, "The Nature of the Firm" and "The Problem of Social Cost". As I mentioned earlier, Coase begins his analysis by asking a very novel and challenging question: If the price system works itself, as is conventionally taught, then why do we see firms? His answer is that there are costs to conducting transactions through the market. The two examples he gives in various forms are: <br /> <br />1. discovering what the relevant prices are, since outside equilibrium the relevant prices are not known. <br /> <br />2. The costs of negotiating and concluding contracts. <br /> <br />To my disappointment, Coase inexplicably spends the rest of the essay extending the example of the costs of contractual arrangements. Now this is an important problem, but until the question of relevant prices is resolved, the problem of executing costly contracts seems to be almost insuperable because if we still have no way of discovering what the relevant prices are, then how can we measure the degree of costs involved in "negotiating and concluding contracts" (page 38)? <br /> <br />I would have liked to see Coase concentrate his remarkable intellectual abilities on the first problem; namely, that of disovering what the relevant prices are. He mentions this problem just once, and then omits it from all subsequent discussions of costs and market transactions. I cannot make sense of this. <br /> <br />This problem is carried into his other famous essay "The Problem of Social Cost". Now the economic analysis contained in this essay is both rigorous and logically consistent. Given certain prices, and given a world in which transaction costs are absent, it would seem superfluous to assign rights because they would simply be re-negotiated in a way which maximizes the social product. This world is a world of equilibrium, and in such a world we can presume that the relevant prices are known. What I like about this argument is that it demonstrates to the advocates of this model (equilibrium) that economists cannot simultaneously present theories of perfect competition and market failure. In a world of perfect competition, rights will be arranged in a way consistent with the maximization of the social product. It does not make any sense to speak of market failire in conditions of perfect equilibrium. We can use Coase's analysis and say to economists: <br /> <br />"The nature of the choice is clear: [perfect competition] or [market failure]. What answer should be given is, of course, not clear unless we know the value of what is obtained as well as teh value of what is sacrificed to obtain it" (page 96). <br /> <br />But when Coase does admit the existence of transaction costs into the analysis, he falls into the same error of assuming that the relevant prices are still known in such a world. He writes: <br /> <br />"In earlier sections, when dealing with the problem of the rearrangement of legal rights through the market, I argued that such a rearrangement would be made through the market whenever this would lead to an increase in the value of production. But this assumed costless market transactions. Once the costs of carrying out market transactions are taken into account, it is clear that such a rearrangement of rights will only be undertaken when the increase in the value of production consequent upon the rearrangement is greater than the costs which would be involved in bringing it about" (page 115). <br /> <br />This argument, while laudable in its emphasis on transaction costs, still begs the question. We first must know what the relevant prices are before we can compare the relative advantages of alternative sets of rights. I think Coase's argument would be strengthened considerably once these considerations are brought into clearer light. To my knowledge, this observation has yet to be made. Before we can speak of transaction "costs", it behooves us to know, as Coase recognized, what the relevant prices are. We could not speak of cost without first solving this very important problem.02261110164142006-08-30

Fifty years of Coase

A wonderful enrichment of Coase's seminal "The Nature of the Firm" with essays by Coase himself that explicate clearer the background that lead to his development of that theory as well as his reflections fifty years later that add significant breadth to half of the issues missed in this original treatise. Some of the other essays are less interesting and not as well stated or, to my mind, accurate; but do add some additional insight that one wishing better to understand the approach taken by Coase needs to have in order to undertake further analysis in this direction.02261110165022005-08-14

Coase is certainly worthy of his Nobel

This book is a reprint of several of Coase's previous works together with an introduction that links them. This line of thinking is very productive for framing solutions to various problems, economic, social, political, and legal. Well worth reading. <DIV>Few other economists have been read and cited as often as R.H. Coase has been, even though, as he admits, "most economists have a different way of looking at economic problems and do not share my conception of the nature of our subject." Coase's particular interest has been that part of economic theory that deals with firms, industries, and markets&#8212;what is known as price theory or microeconomics. He has always urged his fellow economists to examine the foundations on which their theory exists, and this volume collects some of his classic articles probing those very foundations. "The Nature of the Firm" (1937) introduced the then-revolutionary concept of transaction costs into economic theory. "The Problem of Social Cost" (1960) further developed this concept, emphasizing the effect of the law on the working of the economic system. The remaining papers and new introductory essay clarify and extend Coarse's arguments and address his critics.<BR><BR>"These essays bear rereading. Coase's careful attention to actual institutions not only offers deep insight into economics but also provides the best argument for Coase's methodological position. The clarity of the exposition and the elegance of the style also make them a pleasure to read and a model worthy of emulation."&#8212;Lewis A. Kornhauser, <i>Journal of Economic Literature</i><BR><BR>Ronald H. Coase was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1991.</div>068486374X02261110320521397340019508356306742353982592Business & Investing: Popular Economics: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2612Business & Investing: General404929011General404928011Archive251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books491592Microeconomics491584Economics468220Business & Finance465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books319654011Qualifying Textbooks368369011All Titles368370011Arts & Photography368371011Biographies & Memoirs368372011Business & Investing368373011Children's Books368375011Computers & Internet368376011Cooking, Food & Wine368377011Engineering368378011Entertainment368379011Gay & Lesbian368380011Home & Garden368381011Literature & Fiction368382011Medicine368384011Nonfiction368385011Outdoors & Nature368386011Parenting & Families368387011Professional368388011Reference368389011Religion & Spirituality368391011Science368393011Teens368394011Travel251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2597Microeconomics2581Economics3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books355577011Popular Economics2546Labor Policy2550Policy & Current Events3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books16233541Financial16233511English Law10777Law1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksR3PQM86UYD0WWFReal-World EconomicsR1RSQNZBFIPPRYThe Foundations of Modern Management TheoryR1I6Y96ATNZO38Economics and InstitutionsR7FOWGAE5H17ZJose F.

Excellent tax strategies for the wage earner

This is an excellent book for anyone looking to learn about tax strategy, especially if they are looking to offset their W-2 earnings. It's true that the author leans heavily towards starting a business, but he also suggests that this is where the majority of the tax breaks are. <br /> <br />While it may seem that only business owners can benefit from these tax breaks, there is also the suggestion that a side home-based business would satisfy these tax requirements for those high wage earners out there. With so many network marketing companies around, this would be an easy venture for anyone to take on. <br /> <br />I would highly recommend that you read this book with an open mind and consider the possibility of a home-based business as a tax strategy for your high income. If you do, you will definitely reap the benefits of this book and you will do it properly, legally and in compliance with the IRS.007147868X4552008-04-06

Useless for most, great for small business

This book should really be titled "How Small Businesses can Minimize their Taxes." That is the entire focus of the book. (Note that this includes consultants and other types of small businesses.) It covers a lot of topics in an organized manner, giving useable advice and not just concepts. <br /> <br />If you do not have a small business, will this book convince you to do so? Probably not. For example, you can deduct your entertainment expenses - as long as you invite complete strangers over to your house. <br /> <br />If you own or are seriously considering starting your own business, this book is worth getting. If not, don't bother. <br />007147868X5222007-08-07

This will really save you money!

I am using the advice in this book (and have done some of them before). The thoughts and approaches are laid out logically and in an understandable fashion. A must read for ALL taxpayers.007147868X5332007-07-07
