As a milestone achievement of"Multi-volume General History of British Taxation",a National Social Science Fund Major Project,the leaders of each sub-project selected the topics according to the characteristics of the topics based on their own methodology and vision,in hopes of presenting their recent thoughts to the reader.The issues in the following papers mainly involve the"Great Contract"in 1610 in Britain,the taxation changes in the era of absolute monarchy in Western Europe,the concepts and theories in the new fiscal historiography from"domain state"to"tax state",the establishment of modern taxation system in Western Europe,and the characteristics of the taxation system of Western Europe in the early medieval period.Some of these issues have not been studied in the domestic academic circles while some issues have been studied at home and abroad,but in the authors'opinion,there are still gaps in the concept formulation and theory construction,which prompted the authors to participate in the comment and discussion and put forward their own viewpoints,which,on the whole,are obviously innovative,and it is hoped that the publication of the papers will be helpful to the understanding and study of the economic history of taxation,the history of political system and cultural history in Britain and in Europe.
