Description

Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future by Dominic Frisby explores the origins of taxation from ancient times to the present day. Taxation has played a significant role in shaping our global religions, wars, and revolutions throughout history. From its roots in the ancient world, tax laws have been both despotic and absurd, revealing much about how we got to where we are today. This book offers a fascinating historical interpretation of taxation, exposing its political and economic basis. It presents utopian ideas that may outrage some, but will undoubtedly spark debate and discussion among those interested in the subject.
