David Cay Johnston speaking on

Jane Austen Economics: The Effects of Idle Riches

Our speaker, David Cay Johnston, is the 2001 Pulitzer Prize recipient for Beat Reporting. He is a columnist for The Daily Beast, Investopedia, USA Today, NationalMemo.com, Tax Analysts and the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. He is a Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at Syracuse University's College of Law and Whitman School of Management.

Johnston is the author of best-selling books on tax and economic policy. Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense and Stick You With The Bill, is about hidden subsidies, rigged markets, and corporate socialism. It follows his earlier book Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich—and Cheat Everybody Else, a New York Times bestseller on the U.S. tax system that won the Investigative Reporters and Editors 2003 Book of the Year award.
