Book Synopsis The Ideological Foundations of Qing Taxation by : Taisu Zhang
Book excerpt: This survey of the fiscal history of China's last imperial dynasty explains why its ability to tax was unusually weak. It argues that the answer lies in the internal ideological worldviews of the political elite, rather than in external political or economic constraints.
