    The Economic Rape of America - Chapter Eight HISTORY AND THEORY OF TAX AND STATE You have sown much, and harvested little; you eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and you that earn wages earn wages to put them into a bag with holes. -- Haggai 1, verse 6 "... [W]hen it is no longer worth the producers' while to produce, when they are taxed so highly to keep the politicians and their friends on the public payroll that they themselves no longer have a reasonable chance of success in any economic enterprise, then of course production grinds to a halt... When this happens, when the producers can no longer sustain on their backs the increasing load of the parasites, then the activities of the parasites must stop also, but usually not before they have brought down the entire social structure which the producers' activities have created. When the organism dies, the parasite necessarily dies too, but not until the organism has paid for the presence of the parasite with its life. It is in just this way that the major civilizations of the world have collapsed." -- Professor John Hospers, 1975 The history of taxation is also the history of the rise and fall of civilization. It is the history of economic rape. From the history of taxation we can learn... TAX IN EGYPT, ROME, AND THE MIDDLE EAST Charles Adams wrote a superb book, Fight, Flight and Fraud: The Story of Taxation. It is a comprehensive analysis of the history of taxation in the context of the rise and fall of civilizations.

  • Gladstone and the Bank of England: a Study in Mid-Victorian Finance, 1833-1866
    GLADSTONE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND: A STUDY IN MID-VICTORIAN FINANCE, 1833-1866 Patricia Caernarv en-Smith, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Denis Paz, Major Professor Adrian Lewis, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Laura Stern, Committee Member Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Caernarven-Smith, Patricia. Gladstone and the Bank of England: A Study in Mid- Victorian Finance, 1833-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 378 pp., 11 tables, bibliography, 275 titles. The topic of this thesis is the confrontations between William Gladstone and the Bank of England. These confrontations have remained a mystery to authors who noted them, but have generally been ignored by others. This thesis demonstrates that Gladstone’s measures taken against the Bank were reasonable, intelligent, and important for the development of nineteenth-century British government finance. To accomplish this task, this thesis refutes the opinions of three twentieth-century authors who have claimed that many of Gladstone’s measures, as well as his reading, were irrational, ridiculous, and impolitic. My primary sources include the Gladstone Diaries, with special attention to a little-used source, Volume 14, the indexes to the Diaries. The day-to-day Diaries and the indexes show how much Gladstone read about financial matters, and suggest that his actions were based to a large extent upon his reading. In addition, I have used Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates and nineteenth-century periodicals and books on banking and finance to understand the political and economic debates of the time.

  • George Canning and the Representation of Liverpool, 1812-1823 1
    'The Pride of my Publick Life': George Canning and the Representation of Liverpool, 1812-1823 1 Stephen M. Lee I George Canning (1770-1827) was one of the most significant figures on the Pittite side of British politics in the first three decades of the nineteenth century, and his successful campaign for a seat at Liverpool in 1812 both illustrated and contributed to the profound changes that his political career underwent during this period. Sandwiched between his failure to return to office in May-July 1812 following the assassination of Spencer Perceval and his decision to disband his personal following (his 'little Senate') in July i8i3,2 this campaign marked for Canning a turn away from the aristocratic political arena of Westminster, which he had come to find so frustrating, towards a political culture which, if at first alien, was replete with new possibilities. Moreover, Canning's experience as representative for Liverpool was indicative of wider changes in the political landscape of early nineteenth-century Britain. Before considering in detail some of the key aspects of Canning's outward turn, however, it will be useful to offer a brief description of the constituency of Liverpool and a short account of the elections that Canning fought there.3 1 This article is a revised version of chapter 3 of Stephen M. Lee, 'George Canning and the Tories, 1801-1827' (unpuh.

  • The Trial of John Bellingham
    A Case of Injustice? The Trial of John Bellingham by KATHLEEN s. GODDARD* The names Spencer Perceval and John Bellingham are not famous Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ajlh/article/46/1/1/1806398 by guest on 30 September 2021 names. They do not feature prominently in history lessons. Few people, if asked, can accurately state any factual information about either man. However, their story is an interesting one, in that Spencer Perceval is the only British Prime Minister to have been assassinated whilst in office. In 1812, he was assassinated by John Bellingham, who was tried and execut­ ed for the murder. This article is a consideration of the circumstances sur­ rounding the assassination, and an assessment of the fairness of the subse­ quent trial and execution of John Bellingham. THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 1812, the year in which the assassination took place, George III was King of England; however, due to the King's mental condition, the Prince of Wales had been appointed as Regent.' Spencer Perceval, a Tory, was Prime Minister, having been appointed to this office in 1809, follow­ ing the death of the Duke of Portland.2 On the international front, Britain had been at war with France since 1793, although there had been a short break in hostilities following the Treaty of Amiens in 1802. Commencing in 1806, in an attempt to weaken Britain, Napoleon had imposed a blockade on Britain by means of a series of Decrees) The measures involved the confiscation of British goods, wherever seized, and also a prohibition on ships which had used British ports from entering French ports.s In essence, French citizens, allies of the French and also neutral countries were prohibited from trading with Britain or her colonies.> Commencing in 1807, Britain had adopted *Visiting Research Scholar, Institute of Maritime Law, Faculty of Law, University of Southampton, England.

    FREEDOMS POWER THE HISTORY AND PROMISE OF LIBERALISM 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Paul Starr | 9780465081875 | | | | | Freedoms Power The History and Promise of Liberalism 1st edition PDF Book Enslin, Penny Spencer Perceval , Tory, - Perceval bears a dubious distinction as the only British prime minister to be assassinated. Within a week, Britain was forced into an embarrassing climb-down. The disagreement among liberals over whether government should promote individual freedom rather than merely protect it is reflected to some extent in the different prevailing conceptions of liberalism in the United States and Europe since the late 20th century. On the equity feminist view, a law prohibiting women to become surgeons is coercive because it constitutes a threat of loss of liberty or property. It is this very eagerness to welcome and encourage useful change, however, that distinguishes the liberal from the conservative , who believes that change is at least as likely to result in loss as in gain. In its intellectual and political life, Europe has become distinctly more liberal than at any time at least since By far the most common argument in the classical-liberal or libertarian feminist literature is consequentialist. Is it unlimited? They also support laws against sex discrimination in education, employment, and public accommodations. Thus freedom from coercive interference fails to capture what human dignity requires. Instead, she calls on the women's movement to cultivate in women and men a sensitivity and an aversion to this kind of injustice, and to develop remedies. Banting, K. That is, families must be just.
