The Labour Party and Taxation: Party Identity and Political Purpose in Twentieth-Century Britain
This is a political history of Labour s use of the tax system from 1906 to 1979; an epilogue brings the story up to the present, surveying New Labour s tax policies and dilemmas. Richard Whiting s lucid and readable study examines how Labour used taxation to further its political aims: to fund welfare, manage the economy, promote fairness and achieve greater equality. This study sheds new light on Labour s history, and is a valuable contribution to understanding both the tax structure and the politics of twentieth-century Britain more generally.
