SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book examines why taxation is central to the enjoyment or suppression of human rights in an age of rising nationalism, authoritarianism, and disillusionment with the traditional role of the state. Taxation and human rights are at the heart of debates about the appropriate balance in society between the public and private sectors, and ultimately the content of a new social contract.
