The author has devoted more than 20 years to writing this book, figuring out how taxes influenced the course of history. The book examines the key episodes of tax policy in different eras and in different countries. From ancient Egypt to the present day, the author dissects the methods and rationales used by rulers and governments to rob their subjects. Taxes are associated with the rise and fall of states and empires; in connection with taxation, the prototypes of the current parliaments appeared. The author expresses regret at the level of modern discussions about taxation, from which topics, arguments and in general the knowledge gained by the great thinkers of the Enlightenment era, who discussed taxation in connection with despotism and prosperity, have completely disappeared, they were interested in the good of the whole country, and not "budgetary efficiency" and the interests of individual industries and population groups.
