Trusting Leviathan: The Politics of Taxation in Britain, 1799-1914 Book

Professor Martin Daunton's major work of original synthesis explores the politics of taxation in the "long" nineteenth century. In 1799, income tax stood at 20% of national income; by the outbreak of the First World War, it was 10%.
