Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book is a rich compilation of writings from a thoughtful citizen deeply concerned with the state of the British Empire. The author argues that granting an unlimited American Stamp Tax without the colonists' approval undermines the rights of Englishmen. Instead, the author suggests remedies for rampant poverty and the national debt, and proposes that reforming the land tax will alleviate some of the burden on the poor. In addition, the author argues that reforming the Inclosure Acts will reduce poverty by preserving the livelihood of commoners. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical development of taxation and land rights in Britain and its American colonies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
