Does oil make countries autocratic? Can foreign aid make countries
democratic? Does taxation lead to representation? In this book,
Kevin M. Morrison develops a novel argument about how government
revenues of all kinds affect political regimes and their leaders.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Morrison illustrates that taxation
leads to instability, not representation. With this insight, he
extends his award-winning work on nontax revenues to encompass
foreign aid, oil revenue, and intergovernmental grants and shows
that they lead to decreased taxation, increased government
spending, and increased political stability. Looking at the
stability of democracies and dictatorships as well as leadership
transitions within those regimes, Morrison incorporates
cross-national statistical methods, formal modeling, a
quasi-experiment, and case studies of Brazil, Kenya, and Mexico to
build his case. This book upends many common hypotheses and policy
recommendations, providing the most comprehensive treatment of
revenue and political stability to date.
