Book Abstract 内容介绍
How states develop the capacity to tax is a question of fundamental importance to political science, legal theory, economics, sociology, and history. Increasingly, scholars believe that China's relative economic decline in the 18th and 19th centuries was related to its weak fiscal institutions and limited revenue. This book argues that this fiscal weakness was fundamentally ideological in nature. Belief systems created through a confluence of traditional political ethics and the trauma of dynastic change imposed unusually deep and powerful constraints on fiscal policymaking and institutions throughout the final 250 years of China's imperial history. Through the Qing example, this book combs through several interaction dynamics between state institutions and ideologies. The latter shapes the former, but the former can also significantly reinforce the political durability of the latter. In addition to its historical analysis of ideological politics, this book makes a major contribution to the longstanding debate on Sino-European divergence.
本书探讨了国家如何发展税收能力这一根本性问题，涉及政治学、法律理论、经济学、社会学和历史等多个领域。现如今，有越来越多的学者认为，中国在18世纪和19世纪的相对经济衰退与其薄弱的财政制度和有限的税收收入密切相关。本书提出，这种财政弱点的根源在于意识形态。由传统政治伦理和朝代更替带来的创伤共同塑造的信仰体系，对财政政策制定和制度运行施加了异常深远而强大的限制，影响了中国帝制历史最后250年。通过清朝的例子，本书梳理了国家制度与意识形态之间的多重互动。意识形态塑造了国家制度，但国家制度也能显著强化意识形态的政治持久性。除了对历史上意识形态政治的分析，本书还为中欧经济分流这一学界长期争论的问题提供了新的视角。
