Interestingly, Chile and Uruguay were the first in the region to extract more elusive forms of revenue (Mahon, pp. 206–7); today, they have the region’s most programmatic politics (Bogliaccini and Luna, p. 226). Attention to nonprogrammatic politics might help unravel the interconnections between elite power, historical state formation and contemporary taxation. This volume suggests that Latin America may be stuck in a corrosive equilibrium. Because the state is ineffectual at supplying public goods, people evade taxes, and few of them are punished for noncompliance (Bergman). Meanwhile, this low-capacity environment renders people sceptical that higher taxation would expand public goods provision and reduce inequality (Bogliaccini and Luna). The contributors demonstrate a variety of reasons for the region’s underwhelming fiscal performance. They also indicate the contours of a research agenda that might account for variation within the region. The Political Economy of Taxation in Latin America is a fine edited volume. It offers chapters that stand alone on their individual merits and complement each other to produce a sum that is greater than its parts.

In the 15th century, Portuguese merchants sold enslaved Africans from West Africa, initially to Europe and afterwards to the Americas, opening commercial and diplomatic relations that lasted for centuries and would be responsible for the establishment of the largest commercial venture in the Atlantic world in the early modern period. With the independence of Brazil, slavery—and the debate about the prohibition of the Atlantic trade of enslaved Africans—came to be the central element in negotiations of diplomatic relations between the country and other nations, notably Great Britain and the republics of the La Plata River region. Indeed, slavery remained a core issue at least until the end of the Paraguayan War in 1870, when growing international isolation, resulting from the ongoing presence of slavery in Brazil, opened the final crisis of the empire.

Again, this seems to run the risk of judgement by labels, though, of course, some terms have to be employed if we are to offer any kind of explanation. Doubtless many in the ICFTU would not take exception to being deemed ''liberal'', and it can be safely stated that the ICFTU regarded liberal democracy as an essential environment for free trade unionism to flourish. But free trade unions defined themselves very broadly and offered an umbrella beneath which people of many different persuasions could engage pragmatically. Did this necessarily demand moderation? I suspect not, although in the circumstances of Cold War competition there were certainly pressures in this direction. And what might constitute ''moderation'' was not necessarily the same in all situations-or to all those involved. One person's ''moderation'' might well be another's ''radicalism''. As for whether the ICFTU's members were better described as ''liberal'' than ''free'': it is moot. But one can guarantee that the question is more likely to arouse passion in the groves of academe than in the ranks of the unions themselves. All in all, the book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the ICFTU in the period, and particularly through its focus on regional bodies in Europe and Latin America.
