This is the first book to give a collective treatment of
philosophical issues relating to tax. The tax system is central to
the operation of states and to the ways in which states interact
with individual citizens. Taxes are used by states to fund the
provision of public goods and public services, to engage in direct
or indirect forms of redistribution, and to mould the behaviour of
individual citizens. As the contributors to this volume show, there
are a number of pressing and thorny philosophical issues relating
to the tax system, and these issues often connect in fascinating
ways with foundational questions regarding property rights, public
justification, democracy, state neutrality, stability, political
psychology, and other moral and political issues. Many of these
deep and fascinating philosophical questions about tax have not
received as much sustained attention as they clearly merit. The aim
of advancing the debate about tax in political philosophy has both
general and more specific aspects, ranging across both over-arching
issues regarding the tax system as a whole and more specific issues
relating to particular forms of tax policy. Thinking clearly about
tax is not an easy task, as much that is of central importance is
missed if one proceeds at too great a level of abstraction, and
issues of conceptual and normative importance often only come
sharply into focus when viewed against real-world questions of
implementation and feasibility. Serious philosophical work on the
tax system will often therefore need to be interdisciplinary, and
so the discussion in this book includes a number of scholars whose
expertise spans across neighbouring disciplines to philosophy,
including political science, economics, public policy, and law.
