Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the murky origins of the likin tax, a major source of revenue for the late Qing dynasty. Implemented in 1853, the tax coincided with the height of the Taiping Rebellion. As the Qing government sought to suppress the uprising, they were forced to innovate new revenue-generating measures beyond the traditional methods of land and salt taxes and maritime customs. The author demonstrates how the likin emerged as a response to the financial strains of the rebellion, providing a fresh perspective on the fiscal challenges and adaptations of the Qing government during a critical period of Chinese history. The book offers a textured analysis of the factors that influenced the development of the likin, highlighting its significance as a departure from established revenue practices and its impact on the financial landscape of the late Qing dynasty.
