Focusing on the impact of taxation policies at state and local levels, the book explores their effects on equity, accountability, and democracy in the U.S. It highlights how tax structures create an implicit social contract that leads to unintended consequences, often overlooked in discussions about revenue models. By integrating historical American political development with state formation studies, the author offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolving relationship between local governments and citizens, addressing both historical context and future implications.
