Would love to see a short video from you summarising chapter 2 - I searched, but can find nothing that explains the history of the Hong Kong tax system in such compelling detail !
You design a society by the way you tax it. You determine a society’s destiny - whether its people will be prosperous or poor, free or subordinated, happy or suppressed, inventive or censored - by the way you tax. Taxation is the operating system.
If you are trying to fix a society that is broken, tax is Patient Zero. Fix that and everything else follows.
Take any great event in history, and you will find a tax story - usually an untold one - at its very heart.
Every war was funded by tax. Every conquest was motivated by the desire to take over the tax base: the land, the labour, the produce, the profit. Every revolution or revolt was a rising up against some injustice perpetrated by the tax system. Most of our greatest structures were built on the back of taxes. Even our names - well, our surnames - we have because of tax.
Taxation has shaped the entire course of human history.
And yet few of us give it more than a passing thought.
Fortunately for you I have written a belter of a book about it. The audiobook, in particular, has had belting reviews.
