This book provides a thorough review of early English land taxes of
the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It is a polemical
work which is critical of the institutional English state
narratives including Brewer's 'Sinews of Power' and North and
Weingast's 'credible commitment' and some established works in the
field particularly Ward's 'The English Land Tax in the
Eighteenth-Century' which is subject to a highly detailed critique.
The book proposes that although this was a time of tension, with an
English population divided by political and religious affiliations,
unprecedented amounts of taxation were still collected. This was
achieved by ceding immediate process ownership to local governors
whilst arming them with clear success criteria, well-designed
processes and innovative legislation targeted on a growing and
commercialized economy. An important development was the state's
increasing ability to coordinate tax-gathering activities across
the country. This book will be of interest to financial historians,
academics, and researchers.
