This book examines the history of the relationship between citizens and their states in five countries, (Sweden, Britain, Italy, Romania, and the United States), and demonstrates how and why people in in some countries have come to trust the government with their money while in other countries they do not.
The book explores the evolution of this relationship in detail, in each case showing how some governmentsdeveloped the fiscal and technical capacity to tax their citizens fairly and deliver public services efficiently.
In short, how and why some countries became more trustworthy than others. The volume concludes by examining the implications of these five cases for developing countries today and thelessons that can be learned.
