Book excerpt: First published in 1919, Taxation in the New State explores the practical application of tax policy to the financial situation of post-World War I Britain.

He proposes a number of reforms and considers the pitfalls of attempting the find required revenue using ordinary taxation in a post-war financial crisis.
