A
World History
of Tax Rebellions is an exhaustive reference source covering over
4,300
years of riots, rebellions, protests and wars triggered by abusive
taxation
and tax collecting systems around the world. Each of the
chronologically
arranged entries focuses on a specific historical event, analyzing its
roots, socio-economical context, sequence and consequences. Readers can
visit familiar uprisings like the Boston Tea Party, while discovering
lesser-known
events such as the Mauritanian Rebellion in fourth-century Africa, the
Marriage Aid Protest in medieval France and the 1765 Rebellion of the
Barrios
in Ecuador. A
separate A-to-Z
biographical section introduces revolt leaders, activists and other
personalities
that make up the full and often painful, history of taxation. The text
is enhanced by over 60 illustrations, including photographs and
political
cartoons.
