David Cay JohnstonĀ Ā books are as important to my understanding on American Tax Policy, economics and how our system is rigged by rich elites for rich elites as anything else I have readĀ
David Cay JohnstonĀ is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and best-selling author.
The Washington MonthlyĀ called him as āone of Americaās most importantĀ journalists.āĀ The PortlandĀ OregonianĀ said his work equals the original muckrakers: Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Lincoln Steffens.
Johnston met Donald Trump in 1988 and in April 1990 revealed that Trumpās was no billionaire. When Trump announced his latest run for the White House in June 2015, Johnston was the only nationally-known journalist who immediately said Trump was serious this time and might get the GOP nomination. His reporting over the next year led to theĀ Making of Donald Trump, published around the world in English and German on August 2, 2016, by Melville House.
TheĀ San Jose MercuryĀ recruited Johnston when he was just 18 years old because of his reporting for two small weekly newspapers in Santa Cruz, Calif. At age 19Ā The MercuryĀ hired him as a staff writer. Within weeks his byline made the front page.
Over the next four decades his award-winning investigations appeared in that paper, theĀ Detroit Free Press,Ā Los Angeles Times,Ā The Philadelphia InquirerĀ andĀ The New York Times.
Since 2009 Johnston has taught the business regulation, property and tax law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law. He previously taught writing, reporting and magazine writing at the University of Southern California and UCLA Extension. He has lectured on four continents about journalistic techniques, ethics, legal theory and tax policy.
