A sophisticated and accessible application of the newest
theoretical work in public-policy history and legal studies, this
book is a detailed account of how a permanent income tax was
enacted into law in the United States. The tax originated as an
apology for the aggressive manipulation of other forms of taxation,
especially the tariff, during the Civil War. Levied with very low
rates on a small proportion of the population and raising little
revenue, the early tax was designed to preserve imbalances in the
structure of wealth and opportunity, rather than to ameliorate or
abolish them, by strengthening the status quo against fundamental
attacks by the political left and right. This book shows that the
early course of income taxation was more clearly the product of
centrist ideological agreement, despite occasional divergences,
than of "conservative-liberal" allocative conflict.
From Blacks to Brown and Beyond: The Struggle for Progressive
Politics in Oakland, California, 1966-2017 examines Oakland social
issues and politics from the inception of the Black Panther Party
through the election of President Trump to answer the following
questions: Is Oakland a progressive city? Who are the progressives
in Oakland? What are they trying to accomplish? The book provides
firsthand accounts of political events and historic moments from
the past 50 years through the eyes of a former resident of Oakland,
author Robert Stanley Oden, who was a community activist involved
in political formations and actions within the city. It explores
the city's mission to embrace racial equity and the social
empowerment of the poor and people of color. Students learn how the
social climate of Oakland has evolved over time and the dynamics of
multicultural politics in the urban sector. From Blacks to Brown
and Beyond features real-life accounts and oral histories that
provide students with a political dynamic and social context to
analyze urban issues. The book is well-suited to courses in urban
politics, ethnic studies, urban education, and local government.
