Publisher Synopsis
"The book is very well compiled, the panel of contributors well chosen and it reads coherently-aided by the chronological order of studies. ... This provides us with a very clear and detailed illustration of the maxim in the introduction that 'taxation is first and foremost a political issue', and that the formulation and implementation of taxation initiatives are determined politically rather than for ideological or philosophical reasons." (Ciaran Mac an Bhaird, Studia Hibernica, Vol. 45, 2019) Read more...
