The Glorification Of Plunder - https://spiramus.com/the-glorification-of-plunder This book is about two things: tax and power. It explores the complex dynamics of the debates which inform tax policy, the interaction between tax and power and how power relations between various groups in society and between individuals and the state are manifested through tax system. This helps to explain why the rules, procedures and practices are all formulated to suit their interests of the most powerful groups in society. https://spiramus.com/malcolm-james https://repository.cardiffmet.ac.uk/handle/10369/9493 HELP ME CROWDFUND MY GAMESTOP BOOK.
