"The History of Parliamentary Taxation in England" by Shepard Ashman Morgan is a journey through the development of England's tax system. It starts way back in Anglo-Saxon times, where giving money was more about loyalty than law. The book shows how things changed with the Norman Conquest and big moments like the Magna Carta, where the king's power over money started to shift to Parliament. It explores how raising money went from being something the king decided to something Parliament had to agree on, setting the stage for tax rules we know today.
