Our guest this week on The Prescription is Brooklyn Law School professor Steven Dean. He will discuss his most recent research on the racial inequities built into the tax code and what policymakers should do next while the Biden administration’s Build Back Better agenda is stalled in Congress.

This interview is part of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center series of online conversations on tax and fiscal policy in today’s economy. The discussions take place every other Thursday afternoon and feature varying perspectives on the historic economic challenges facing the United States and the world and the best ways to address them.
