This book explores the interaction between business and the system
of taxation in Greece, from the mid-1950s up to 2008, the year that
marked the eve of the economic crisis the country faced in the
aftermath of the international financial crisis of 2007. The
evidence presented confirms William Baumol's point about how
taxation affects entrepreneurship. That is, it is shown that Baumol
was right when indicating that problematic tax rules can lead to
unproductive forms of entrepreneurship, such as tax evasion.
However, the focus here is on aspects of the system of taxation
that Baumol's model, examining solely tax rates and levels of
taxation, neglected. This book shows that, as far as Greek
entrepreneurship is concerned, the adverse effects of the system of
taxation came mostly from a series of issues that increased its
perceived unfairness and illegitimacy. The way that the tax system
functioned also increased uncertainty, which was anything but
beneficial for investing in business. This book contributes to the
current debates about the Greek economy and the causes of the
crisis affecting the country. In this respect, it also throws light
on the big issue of tax evasion burdening the country's fiscal
system. However, the research also belongs to the wider literature
examining entrepreneurship from a business history perspective, to
that focusing on the relation between entrepreneurship and
institutions, to the debates regarding the ways entrepreneurship is
affected by the socio-political and economic environment but also
to institutional analyses about taxation.
