Plan of an Improved Income Tax and Real Free Trade, With an Equitable Mode of Redeeming the National Debt

In this work, Buckingham proposes an alternative to the existing income tax system, coupled with a plan for free trade and redemption of the national debt. He proposes a sliding scale of taxation for those with higher incomes, and advocates for the abolition of customs duties and protectionist tariffs to improve trade. This book is a fascinating snapshot into economic philosophy in the early 19th century.
