Abstract

[It is time to rethink land taxes. They were the most significant of all English taxes until the early eighteenth century and remained prominent for decades thereafter. The success of these taxes runs counter to models of an English state successful in war and at home because it was becoming more institutionalised and bureaucratic. Land taxes were successful because they were well designed to exploit cashflows from England’s growing wealth, had strong processes and could rely on the services of tens of thousands of skilled, capable and committed men up and down the land to collect them.]
