Why this book?

This Festschrift celebrates the work of David Rosenbloom and marks the occasion of his 80th birthday. Throughout his illustrious career, David has developed many close friendships in practice, government and academia, and his creativity and dedication have contributed immeasurably to the field of international taxation.

Their contributions engage David’s large body of written work, his government service and his professional career, and they demonstrate his impact on the lives and careers of those fortunate enough to have worked and studied with him.
