Guest: Dhammika Dharmapala, PhD, Professor of Law, University of Chicago Law School Let’s take a closer look at the part of the Republican tax plan called “repatriation.” The idea is to encourage American companies doing business around the world to bring more of their international profits home to the US economy and invest it in their business here, create jobs here, pay more money to their workers here.
