Published in 1888, this book is a scathing critique of the British tax system and its impact on ordinary citizens. Reid argues that the tax system is riddled with inefficiencies and inequities, and that it unfairly burdens the working class. His analysis of the 1888 budget proposals offers valuable insights into the political and economic climate of the time.
