Summary

We are living in a golden age for the political sociology of public finance. The study of taxation and public debt often has been assumed to belong to the domain of economics, but fiscal policies, like other public policies, are the outcomes of political processes that can be studied sociologically, and the eclectic theoretical toolkit of contemporary political sociology – stocked as it is with concepts and middle-range theories from pluralist, institutionalist, power elite, Marxist, feminist, post-structuralist, and other theoretical traditions – can be applied as well to this domain as to any other.
