Definition
- Although some might start with Auguste Comte (1798–1857), most scholars would suggest that an account of the sociological study of taxes should begin much later, in the early twentieth century, when the concept of fiscal sociology was first introduced.Fiscal SociologyThe phrase fiscal sociology dates back to the early decades of the twentieth century; nevertheless, its tenets derive from the seventeenth century. This is the point at which nation-states systematized the collection of taxes, and pillage and plunder gradually were abandoned as methods of enriching governments.
