This conference, funded by the Centre for History and Economic (Cambridge), the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities (CRASSH) and the Trevelyan Fund (Faculty of History, Cambridge), brings together historians, legal scholars and economists in order to explore the ways in which the transfer of ideas has shaped national tax regimes since the mid-eighteenth century. The conference focuses on the interaction between the transfer of ideas and the institutional, political, social, and economic environments which allowed ideas about taxation to cross borders. In particular, we seek to explore how transfers of ideas about taxation were framed by questions of political legitimacy and by socio-economic structures. We aim to explore exchanges amongst nations, within federal structures, and within empires. We thus hope to contribute to the discussions about international influences on nation-state building and the crucial role fiscal regimes played within these processes. Speakers include: Peter Becker, W. Elliott Brownlee and Martin Daunton.
