Abstract

"Tax evasion, tax avoidance and tax resistance are widespread phenomena in political, economic, social and fiscal history from antiquity through to medieval, early modern and modern times. This book shows how different groups and individuals around the globe have succeeded or failed in not paying their due taxes, whether in kind or in cash, on their properties, or on their crops. It analyses how, throughout history, wealthy and poor taxpayers have tried to avoid or reduce their tax burden by negotiating with tax authorities, through practices of legal or illegal tax evasion, by filing lawsuits, seeking armed resistance or by migration, and how state authorities have dealt with such acts of claim making, defiance, open resistance or elusion. It fills an important research gap in tax history, addressing questions of tax morale and fairness, and how social and political inequality was negotiated through taxation. It gives rich insights into the development of citizen-state relationships throughout the course of history. The book comprises case studies from Ancient Athens, Roman Egypt, Medieval Europe, Early Modern Mexico, the Ottoman Empire, Nigeria under British colonial rule, the United Kingdom of the early 20th century, Greece during the Second World War, as well as West Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the US in the 20th century, including transnational entanglements in the world of late-modern offshore finance and taxation. The authors are experts in fiscal, economic, financial, legal, social, and/or cultural history. The book is intended for students, researchers and scholars of economic and financial history, social and world history and political economy"

Abstract

This book examines how Swiss leaders reached a deal with international pressures that appeared after the First World War, preventing the placement of foreign capital flight in Switzerland. A result of research on unpublished sources, from both Swiss and European archives, this book renews aware-ness of the history of the Swiss financial center and international economic relations during the first half of the 20th century. Il y a un siècle, le secret bancaire suisse était remis en cause pour la premi-ère fois sur la scène internationale. Ce livre étudie comment les dirigeants helvétiques sont parvenus à faire face aux pressions internationales, qui apparaissent après le premier conflit mondial, pour empêcher le placement en Suisse des capitaux étrangers en fuite. Fruit d’une recherche très vaste sur des sources inédites, issues de nombreux fonds d’archives suisses et européennes, l’ouvrage renouvelle les connaissances sur l’histoire de la place financière helvétique et des relations économiques internationales au cours de la première moitié du XXe siècle. L’analyse démontre que les autorités fédérales, de concert avec le patronat bancaire et industriel, ont élaboré un ensemble de stratégies visant non seulement à écarter les attaques à l’encontre du secret bancaire et des avantages fiscaux, mais encore à renforcer l’attractivité du centre offshore suisse, notamment par le biais de la signature des premières conventions de double imposition. Si cette politique ne trouve pas d’équivalent à l’étranger, elle a cependant constamment reçu d’importants appuis auprès des élites européennes. En se penchant sur les premiers épisodes de l’histoire de la protection du secret bancaire, La défense du paradis fiscal suisse avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale réintègre ainsi les événements actuels dans une perspective de plus longue durée.

Abstract

At present, collecting and analyzing data from inside Myanmar remains notoriously difficult. There is, therefore, a non-Myanmar approach towards the majority of studies on Myanmar. This is especially the case when dealing with informal or illegal trade within the country’s territory. IRASEC and the Observatory on Illicit Trafficking wanted to fill this gap by giving the floor to Professor Winston Set Aung, the founder and the director of the Asia Development Research Institute, and director of the Asia Language and Business Academy in Myanmar. He is also an MBA lecturer at the Institute of Economics in Yangon and is involved in several international and regional research programs in partnership with various research institutes including the Institute of Asian Studies, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand; Tokyo University, Japan; and the Institute for Security and Development Policy of Sweden, Stockholm Environmental Institute. The focus of Professor Winston Set Aung’s study is to provide a Myanmar-centric perspective on informal or illegal trade. The author offers an analysis regarding the process of informal exchanges through a pragmatic and non-contextualized critique. The causes of informal and illegal exchanges are identified and described without commenting on their origins. This intentional, measured, and calculated conservative perspective enables us to think on how to best use these flows in the current political situation in Myanmar. It seems therefore useful and relevant to make this data available to our readers.
