Krátky popis
Death and taxes are our inevitable fate. We've been told this since
the beginning of civilisation. But what if we stopped to question
our antiquated system? Is it fair? And is it capable of serving the
needs of our rapidly-changing, modern society? In Daylight Robbery,
Dominic Frisby traces the origins of taxation, from its roots in
the ancient world, through to today.He explores the role of tax in
the formation of our global religions, the part tax played in wars
and revolutions throughout the ages, why, at one stage, we paid tax
for daylight or for growing a beard. Ranging from the despotic to
the absurd, the tax laws of the past reveal so much about how we
got to where we are today and what we can do to build a system fit
for the future. 'This entertaining, surprising, contrarian book is
a tour de force!' - Matt Ridley, author of The Evolution of
Everything'In this spectacular gallop through history, Frisby shows
how taxation has warped, stunted and thwarted human progress' -
Mark Littlewood, Director General, Institute of Economic
Affairs'Frisby's historical interpretation and utopian ideas will
outrage Left and Right' - Steve Baker, MP for Wycombe and Member of
the House of Commons Treasury Committee 'Fascinating book which
exposes the political and economic basis of tax.A must read for
those of us who believe in simpler, lower taxes' - Rt Hon Liz
Truss, MP for South West Norfolk, Secretary of State for
International Trade and President of the Board of Trade
