The New Fiscal Sociology: Taxation in Comparative and Historical
Perspective demonstrates that the study of taxation can illuminate
fundamental dynamics of modern societies. The sixteen essays in this
collection offer a state-of-the-art survey of the new fiscal sociology
that is emerging at the intersection of sociology, history, political
science, and law. The contributors include some of the foremost
comparative historical scholars in these disciplines and others. They
approach the institution of taxation as a window onto the changing
social contract. Their chapters address the social and historical
sources of tax policy, the problem of how taxes persist, and the
social and cultural consequences of taxation. They trace fundamental
connections between tax institutions and macrohistorical phenomena -
wars, shifting racial boundaries, religious traditions, gender
regimes, labor systems, and more.
