In 1914, taxation was about 10 per cent of GNP; by 1979, taxes had
risen to almost half of the total national income, and contributed
to the rise of Thatcher. Martin Daunton continues the story begun
in Trusting Leviathan, offering an analysis of the politics of
acceptance of huge tax rises after the First World War and asks why
it did not provoke the same levels of discontent in Britain as it
did on the continent. He further questions why acceptance gave way
to hostility at the end of this period. Daunton views taxes as the
central driving force for equity or efficiency. As such he provides
a detailed discussion of their potential in providing revenue for
the state, and their use in shaping the social structure and
influencing economic growth. Just Taxes places taxation in its
proper place, at the centre of modern British history.
