There is a strong view that economics is the academic discipline that best represents the claim of positive science among social sciences. Economics has undergone significant transformations after its emergence as a science. Despite all these transformations, the feature containing positive and normative elements has not changed.

Adil olmayan dünyanın adil olmayan vergilerine insanoğlunun verdiği meşru tepkiler olan isyanlar bu kitabın ana çıkış noktasıdır. Bu çıkış noktasının gayesiyse kamusal finansmanın en temel kaynağı olan vergilerin haksız ve keyfi kullanımı neticesinde ne gibi sonuçlara mahal verdiğini tarihsel perspektiften ortaya koymaktır. Burada unutulmaması gereken şey, isyan sebebinin tek başına vergiler olmamasıdır. Sorun vergiler değil, onu adaletsiz bir zemine oturtan hükümetlerdir. Bu kitapta söz konusu sürece ne gibi faktörlerin eşlik ettiği, kötü yönetimlerin ne gibi sonuçlara yol açtığı, bunlara toplumların nasıl tepki verdiği ve tepkilerin nasıl neticelendiği sorularına cevaplar aranmıştır.
