<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Carrie Manning's illuminating book examines how policies to limit taxation at state and local levels in the U.S. have direct and lasting consequences for equity, accountability, and ultimately for democracy. Tax structures embed, and reproduce, an implicit social contract between government and citizens, creating path-dependent outcomes that produce unintended consequences that are rarely traced back to state and local revenue models. This book combines historical American political development with the study of state formation. It provides a clear-eyed investigation into the past, present, and future of the social contract between America's local governments and citizens.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Carrie Manning is Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University.
