You’ve reached the website for Joseph J. Thorndike. I write about tax, history, and politics — not always in that order but usually in combination. Almost everything I write appears in Tax Notes Federal. You can also find most of my Tax Notes pieces at the Tax History Project. A smaller collection appears at Forbes.com.
I have written for a wide variety of national newspapers and magazines, as well as various scholarly journals.
And there are books.
Please feel free to get in touch.
