MFFI Challenge: can Shane make an entertaining episode from the world’s most hated subject?

Full disclosure: no one suggested this week’s topic. Why would they? Only an idiot would attempt to make an interesting podcast episode out of the history and specifics of taxation. 

Shane is that idiot. 

He’s also a giant nerd, and believes that global finances can be fascinating. Duncan is skeptical. Can Shane make taxes interesting? Listen to find out...

In this episode:

• Egyptian Shat 
• Sin Taxes
• The Russian Beard Tax
• The Rosetta Stone
• Types of Taxes
• Tariffs 
• Scaled vs Flat (progressive/regressive) 
• Capital Gains
