Tax, Inequality, and Human Rights is written by Philip Alston and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190882255 (ISBN 10) and 9780190882259 (ISBN 13).

This book examines why taxation is central to the enjoyment or suppression of human rights in an age of rising nationalism, authoritarianism, and disillusionment with the traditional role of the state. Taxation and human rights are at the heart of debates about the appropriate balance in society between the public and private sectors, and ultimately the content of a new social contract.
