Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the changes in local government and taxation in England and Wales from the 16th century onwards, tracing the historical development of local governance and fiscal policy. The author illuminates how our current system of Local Government came into being, exploring how a patchwork of often contradictory and overlapping authorities grew into the structure we still see today. The author also examines the long history of Rates in England and Wales, focusing particularly on the Poor Rate and the impact of misguided legislation during the Napoleonic Wars, which led to widespread destitution. But the book is not simply a history lesson. The book also examines the present-day situation, detailing the vast increases in the burden of Rates over the last 30 years, and arguing that current levels of taxation are placing an undue burden on local ratepayers. The author argues that the current system is unfair and must be reformed, and lays out a compelling plan for streamlining and consolidating local government, through merging multiplicity of authorities into a single, cohesive structure. The author also examines other aspects of Local Government and Taxation, including the proliferation of Special Purpose Authorities and the growth of the role of the State. The book is a powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the current state of Local Government in England and Wales and makes a passionate case for major reform.
