Jena Malone discusses how books can challenge the myths we live by, from personal stories to government narratives. The conversation focuses on the myth of income tax: where it came from, what it means, and how it shapes the way we see ourselves and each other.
I think what's really cool about this book is that it doesn't just stop at the myth of the masculine, but rather all of the stories that I tell myself and the stories that the government tells me and the stories that my society tells me. And even just the myth of income tax, sort of like where did that story come from? You know, what does it mean to me? How is it working for me? How is it working for my neighbors?
That's funny that you say income tax. I'd love to talk about that.

Let's talk about income tax. Yeah, I know, I'm ready.
