Editorial Reviews

Review

Huret's key innovation is linking tax resistance to the narrow interests of the white and most affluent section of US society. (Daniel Ben-Ami, Financial Times, 2014-03-28)

Huret does tell wonderful stories. His is the best I have seen about the unlikely connection of actors whose efforts ultimately led to the restructuring of the relationship between the rates applied to single persons and married persons in the 1970s. (Charlotte Crane, Law and History Review, May 2015)

American Tax Resisters is an invaluable contribution to the litterature on the history and politics of federal taxation in the United States. Huret has done a great service in uncovering the networks of activists who not only influenced today's antitax and antistate politics but also helped "shape the architecture of federal taxation" and the modern American state. (Molly Michelmore, Journal of American History, March 2015)

From his broad and deep primary research in the archives of tax resisters, anti-tax groups, and the public authorities they bombarded with petitions, letters, and testimony, Huret concludes that the anti-tax activists have not hated taxes in general, but progressive taxes in particular. (Robin Einhorn, Canadian Journal of History, Spring 2016)

Elsie de Wolfe, by many accounts the founder of the profession of interior design, became rich through her efforts in the early twentieth century. When her wealth brought her into the crosshairs of the new income tax law of 1913, she bristled. This story is only one of the surprises of the history of American tax resistance, brought to light in Romain D. Huret's American Tax Resisters...Huret has scoured dozens of manuscript collections and produced a thoroughly researched book. (Monica Prasad, American Historical Review, April 2015)
 

The rhetoric and imagery of anti-tax protests from the late 19th century have shown themselves to be exceptionally durable and they recur throughout Huret's account of American tax resistance in the 20th century and beyond. With each new chapter, there is at least one moment when it feels as if the names of the anti-tax leaders and organizations have changed, but not much else. Certainly not the complaints. (Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Education, 2014-04-16) 

Historian Huret presents a political history of efforts to keep US federal taxes low and non-progressive.  It is a tale of those mostly white and wealthy people who seek both limited national government and limited economic redistribution, a battle against taxation waged from the earliest days of the nation.  The approach is narrative, but it provides an abundance of fascinating background information about the formation and execution of tax law. Recommended. (John L. Mikesell, Choice, December 2014)
