Taxation and taxation are commonly perceived as the embodiment of the social contract. This groundbreaking collection of essays challenges this truism by examining the insights that tax can provide about the boundaries of social contract thinking. The contributors shed light on contemporary fiscal structures and public discussions surrounding the moralities, practices, and imaginaries of tax systems, utilizing tax as a lens to explore the nature of citizenship, personal freedom, and moral and economic value. Through ethnographically grounded accounts, the contributors demonstrate how taxation can be influenced by spaces of fiscal sovereignty that exist outside or alongside the state, taking various forms, from alternative religious communities to economic collectives.
