Imperial Inequalities takes Western European empires and their
legacies as the explicit starting point for discussion of issues of
taxation and welfare. In doing so, it addresses the institutional
and fiscal processes involved in modes of extraction, taxation, and
the hierarchies of welfare distribution across Europe's global
empires. The idea of 'imperial inequalities' provides a conceptual
frame for thinking about the long-standing colonial histories that
are responsible, at least in part, for the shape of present
inequalities. This wide-ranging volume challenges existing
historiographical accounts that present states and empires as
separate categories. Instead, it views them as co-constitutive
units by focusing upon the politics of economic governance across
imperial spaces. Authors examine the fiscal innovations that
enabled European empires to finance their expansion, the politics
of redistribution that were important to constructing the veneer of
legitimacy of taxation, and the fiscal mechanisms that were
established to ensure that the imperial contours of inequality
continued to define the postcolonial world. These diverse
contributions provide new resources for how we think about issues
of taxation and welfare across the longue duree. This book is
relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10, Reduced
