Federal Income Taxation of Insurance Companies (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With all due respect, I vehemently disagree with Mr. Rothberg's admonition that Emanuel Burstein's "Federal Income Taxation of Insurance Companies, 2nd Edition" is "too intense" for young children. Agreed, while children can marvel at the diverse range of insurance products and wonder at the complexity of the amortization of initial period acquisition costs, Mr. Burstein's unsentimental depiction of liabilities arising from mortality, morbidity and accident claims would reduce any boy or girl to tears, even without the graphic illustrations. Nevertheless, shielding children from a work of this magnitude because "they won't get the impact of the McCarran-Ferguson Act" or "they don't care about reciprocal flood insurance exchange arrangements" is tantamount to snatching a telescope from a curious lad. Parents, I urge you, in response to your child's innocent yet inevitable question, "Daddy, why are there separate tax rules for insurance companies?" - run, don't walk, to your cherished Burstein, and press it joyfully into youth's outstretched hand.
