Tax and taxation are conventionally understood as the embodiment of
social contract. This ground-breaking collection of essays
challenges this truism, examining what tax might tell us about the
limits of social-contract thinking. The contributors shed light on
contemporary fiscal structures and public debates about the
moralities, practices, and imaginaries of tax systems, using tax to
explore the nature of citizenship, personal freedom, and moral and
economic value. Their ethnographically grounded accounts show how
taxation may be influenced by spaces of fiscal sovereignty that
exist outside or alongside the state, taking various forms, from
alternative religious communities to economic collectives.
