Taxation: The People’s Business is a nonfiction work by Andrew W. Mellon, originally published in 1924, that presents his views on public finance and tax policy during the early twentieth century. Mellon was then serving as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, and the book reflects the thinking behind the fiscal program associated with the Harding and Coolidge administrations. It argues that taxation should be understood not as a narrow technical matter but as a central public question affecting investment, enterprise, employment, government revenue, and the wider economy. The book belongs to the tradition of economic and political argument rather than academic theory, and it is closely tied to Mellon’s broader case for reducing excessive tax rates, lowering unnecessary burdens on capital, and restoring incentives for productive activity. Its value today lies in showing how a major policymaker connected tax structure to human behavior, risk-taking, and long-term growth.
