Sažetak
Sooner or later, in one way or another, taxes will affect us all. As children we do not know much about them, but most tax systems, including ours, enable our parents to report us as a deduction on their personal income tax returns. One day when we start working again, we turn from being a passive to an active taxpayer, and are faced with liabilities for personal income tax and surtax and other different types of taxes, depending on the place and situation we are in. But how many of us know how long taxes have existed, and how they have been developed? How many of us know the oldest written document in which taxes are mentioned? What is intelligent and what is bad taxation? What are the main principles of taxation? It is these and many other questions that are answered by Charles Adams in his book For Good and Evil – the Impact of Taxes on the Course of Civilization, in which in an interesting way he spins the tale of the history of taxation ever since ancient Egypt
