But how and why are we taxed the way we are, and is now it time for a fundamental change?Daylight Robbery is a whirlwind journey through the story of tax from its roots in ancient Mesopotamia right through to today exploring questions including:* What part did tax play in the formations of our global religions?* Is there a tax story at the heart of every global revolution?* Did tax start prohibition? * How did has war shaped the way societies have been taxed?Frisby finds that we are stuck in a cycle of taxation that starts when a temporary tax is introduced and then increased over time, often repressing the population and restricting basic human rights, and ending in violent revolt and revolution.
