How states develop the capacity to tax is a question of fundamental
importance to political science, legal theory, economics,
sociology, and history. Increasingly, scholars believe that China's
relative economic decline in the 18th and 19th centuries was
related to its weak fiscal institutions and limited revenue. This
book argues that this fiscal weakness was fundamentally ideological
in nature. Belief systems created through a confluence of
traditional political ethics and the trauma of dynastic change
imposed unusually deep and powerful constraints on fiscal
policymaking and institutions throughout the final 250 years of
China's imperial history. Through the Qing example, this book combs
through several interaction dynamics between state institutions and
ideologies. The latter shapes the former, but the former can also
significantly reinforce the political durability of the latter. In
addition to its historical analysis of ideological politics, this
book makes a major contribution to the longstanding debate on
Sino-European divergence.
