Abstract

This study deals with the tax resistance which has caused major changes in the history of mankind from the work of Henry Thoreau. In this study, the concept of passive resistance which is one of the tax resistance types is evaluated in the context of civil disobedience. The scope of this work constitutes Henry Thoreau’s concept of disobedience which is first spread to individual but later social layers. The concept of civil disobedience in tax gives the impression that there are some common points in the cause and effect context where the taxpayers are faced with authority. In this sense, taxes, wars, and attitudes of individuals are historically meaningful.Classification-JEL:H20, H26, H30. Keywords:Endless Quarrel, Tax, Henry Thoreau, Civil Disobedience, Passive Resistance.
