The Attalids of Pergamon and Anatolia Money, Culture, and State Power

The Attalids of Pergamon and Anatolia Money, Culture, and State Power
Noah Kaye, "The Attalids of Pergamon and Anatolia: Money, Culture, and State Power"
English | ISBN: 131651059X | 2022 | 300 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Historians have long wondered at the improbable rise of the Attalids of Pergamon after 188 BCE. The Roman-brokered Settlement of Apameia offered a new map - a brittle framework for sovereignty in Anatolia and the eastern Aegean. What allowed the Attalids to make this map a reality and leave their indelible Pergamene imprint on our Classical imagination? In this uniquely comprehensive study of the political economy of the kingdom, Noah Kaye rethinks the impact of Attalid imperialism on the Greek polis and the multicultural character of the dynasty's notorious propaganda. By synthesizing new findings in epigraphy, archaeology, and numismatics, he shows the kingdom for the first time from the inside. The Pergamene way of ruling was a distinctively non-coercive and efficient means of taxing and winning loyalty. Royal tax collectors collaborated with city and village officials on budgets and minting, while the kings utterly transformed the civic space of the gymnasium.

Tax Progression in OECD Countries An Integrative Analysis of Tax Schedules and Income Distributions

Tax Progression in OECD Countries An Integrative Analysis of Tax Schedules and Income Distributions
Tax Progression in OECD Countries: An Integrative Analysis of Tax Schedules and Income Distributions By Christian Seidl, Kirill Pogorelskiy, Stefan Traub (auth.)
2013 | 322 Pages | ISBN: 3642283160 | PDF | 11 MB
​This is the first book that performs international and intertemporal comparisons of uniform tax progression with empirical data. While conventional measures of tax progression suffer from serious disadvantages for empirical analyses, this book extends uniform measures to progression comparisons of countries with different income distributions. Tax progression is analyzed in terms of Lorenz curve and Suits curve equivalents of net incomes and taxes. The authors derive six distinct definitions of the relation "is more progressive than", which are then utilized for an empirical analysis of 13 countries included in the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS). In two thirds of all international comparisons of tax progression, the authors report a clear ranking of the respective countries in terms of progression dominance. Tax based definitions of greater progressivity perform best. These observations are yet reinforced by statistical tests. The book also provides an account of the institutional background of the involved countries in order to facilitate the interpretation of the data. Moreover, the authors conduct intertemporal comparisons of tax progression for selected countries and perform a sensitivity analysis with respect to the parameterization of the equivalence scale.
