18世纪英国的税收骚乱及其原因——读《骚动的人群:汉诺威时代英国的民众抗议》

The Tax Riots and Their Causes in the Eighteenth-Century Britain

艾德里安·兰德尔《骚动的人群:汉诺威时代英国的民众抗议》认为,面对日益增加的税负,英国民众在受到媒体与地方权贵的鼓动和支持下,以税收骚乱的形式进行抗争,税收骚乱既反映了市场经济发展对传统生活方式的冲击,也反映了社会体制变革下中央与地方的权力之争。

Adrian Randall stated his views in this work Riotous Assemblies:Popular Protest in Hanoverian England,and he believed that,faced with the increasing tax burden,the British people under the instigation and support of the media and local dignitaries,fought in the form of tax disturbances,the tax disturbance reflected the impact of the development of the market economy on the traditional way of life as well as the struggle between the central authorities and the local authorities in the social system reform.
