Recenzje

'Assaf Likhovksi has written an absolutely fascinating book. His exploration of the rise and fall of what he aptly calls the 'intimate fiscal state' uses taxation to provide a prism on the history of late Ottoman and British-ruled Palestine, as well as Israel. Everyone interested in the relationship between law and society, the history of taxation, the subject of tax avoidance, and the history of Israel will want to read this brilliant work.'
