Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that a system of penalties and rewards for whistle blowers and undercover investigators is imperative for collecting taxes and preventing fraud in an era of complex import laws and tariffs. The author, a politician heavily involved in the revenue laws of his time, presents an analysis of the system in place in the United States during the late 19th century in comparison to similar systems in England, using specific examples of fraud and corruption to show the necessity for stronger legal deterrents. The book also discusses the danger of swinging too far in the other direction and putting honest merchants under undue suspicion when trying to catch criminals. While the book is dated and some details, such as tariff rates, are no longer relevant, the author's insights into the psychology of fraud prevention and the balance between protecting revenue and protecting the innocent retain their significance today.
