Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an extensive analysis of Indiana's taxation system, details the economic and political forces shaping taxation from the state's inception to the first decades of the 20th century. The author, a political economist, has created a meticulously researched study using tax rates, census data, and the writings of prominent Hoosiers to demonstrate the ways in which decisions made by the state's legislators mirrored the evolving economic and political landscape. Of particular interest is the author's examination of the period from 1890 to 1914, when Indiana struggled to reconcile the growing demand for state services with pressure from powerful corporate interests and widespread public dissatisfaction. The author includes numerous primary source excerpts in which politicians, economists, and industrialists debate the efficacy and fairness of taxation methods, and concludes that while many of the debates and concerns of the period resonate in present-day tax policy discussions, Indiana's political leaders in the early 20th century displayed a resourcefulness and willingness to experiment that is lacking in contemporary political discourse.
