Description

Daylight Robbery: How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future by Dominic Frisby explores the origins and evolution of taxation from ancient times to the present day. From its roots in the ancient world, tax has played a significant role in shaping our global religions, influencing wars and revolutions, and even dictating aspects of personal life, such as the payment for daylight or growing a beard. This book delves into the often-absurd and sometimes-despotic laws that have governed taxation throughout history. By examining these historical tax laws, Frisby reveals how they have warped human progress and shaped our modern society. A thought-provoking and entertaining read, Daylight Robbery offers a fresh perspective on the role of taxation in our lives and its potential to inform a more efficient and effective system for the future.
