Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the arguments for and against a proposed excise scheme on wine and tobacco in early 18th century Britain. The author, a contemporary of the events described, provides a detailed analysis of the arguments put forward in the public sphere by both supporters and opponents of the scheme. The author examines the alleged motives of both parties, presenting the case for implementing the excise scheme as a means to reduce rampant fraud and smuggling, thereby increasing overall revenue. The book also explores the arguments of opponents, particularly their fears that the excise scheme would erode traditional liberties and infringe upon individual rights. These arguments are analyzed within the broader context of government's role in regulating trade and its responsibility to prevent illicit activities that harm the national interest. Ultimately, the book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between government authority, economic policy, and individual freedoms within the context of early 18th century Britain.
