If there is to be a single book that seems to answer several questions and problems, from different fields of study, be it economics, sociology, and political science, or even accounting, that book has finally been written. The author has managed to put together the answers to the most pressing economic and social questions in political economy. Outdated economic systems and their attendant economic structures set up centuries ago are exposed for creating a system of inequalities that we have come to accept as normal. Creating inequality, condemning workers to slavery, and aggregating wealth into a few hands, are clearly exposed as the ills of what has long been regraded as a perfect political economy. Company law has worked to make citizens second class individuals when it comes to wealth creation.While taxation has been hyped about of late and world leaders have resorted to tame chiding of few multinationals, the book takes the reader to the details of how tax is calculated. And since all wealth and income to the majority is through what remains after tax, the result is a shocking revelation of how the tax laws have intentionally made the majority poorer and has benefited the minority. Currency and money are explained as two different things and blessed with that new understanding, inflation, government debt and public finance are discussed, to the startling conclusion that these also have been used to make the majority poor to be poorer and that these are secret taxes in reality.Not only is the reader able to understand the various errors and fallacies that have created poverty and inequality, the author calls for a complete reform of the company laws, tax laws and economic structures. A taxodus of the masses is a movement to economic freedom based on a majority who have come to understand how the economy and how finance works, and through active, intelligent participation, are able to free themselves from the current chains that bind them. Incastration is the modern day form of slavery where young economic bulls are yoked to be labourers for the majority of their life, with heavy taxes, little opportunities and gradually reduced to poverty on retirement. A fair economic system, reformed economic structures, equitable tax laws, all supported by individuals who understand political economics, will usher democratic freedoms never before possible.This is one book that will change your understanding of money, economics, inflation and all those fancy things that we tend to ignore as too heavy for our minds, in our financial life, but which always catch us unprepared. It is a book for the masses for their freedom's sake, for the leaders (politician, unionist, etc.) for better decision making, and finally it is a book for everyone to lean so that we can change the way we are taxed, the way we are ruled, and the way we are going. A tax the size of out income, a government the size of our taxes, a democracy the size of our knowledge.Tonderai Chitauro.
About the Author: Tonderai Chitauro is an accountant based in South Africa who grew up in Zimbabwe and has worked for two of the accounting big four firms. He has worked in the private sector and also in the public sector. He is currently a public finance consultant and the book, Democratic Political Economy, is his first published work. Growing up in a poor village, with little prospects of a better life, and hardly making it through to become a professional accountant, has enabled him to have a different perspective of our political economy. Tonderai also takes interest in religious economics and his work draws a lot from the understanding of political economy in religious books such as the bible. Having lived in Zimbabwe at a time of land reform, economic structural adjustment programs, morbid inflation and economic distress, he offers a different and fresh understanding to issues such as inflation, money and currency, and public finance in general. Growing up in the village enables him to write from a poor man's shoes, and to be an advocate for the masses, the labourers, and similar sufferers. A knack to question the norm, and fearless slaughter of the sacred cow, are the hallmarks of his style. Tonderai prefers to live in small towns, in villages, and farms rather than in the large cities. He is married to Kudzai and they have two children.
