Taxes before the Guns of August

A reader has just recently responded with a question on taxes before the democratic republican age.

Based on footnotes in Hoppe’s Democracy the God that Failed, Peter Flora’s State, Economy, and Society in Western Europe 1815-1975: A Data Handbook should be a good place to start.

These books may also be of interest:

  • Douglass C. North and Robert P. Thomas: The Rise of the Western World: A New Economic History
  • Paul Johnson: Modern Times: The World from the Twenties to the Eighties
  • Carlo M. Cipolla: Before the Industrial Revolution: European Society and Economy, 1000-1700
