Money, Land, and Law in a Nineteenth-Century Capitalist Dominion
From: Colonialism and Capitalism Canada's Origins 1500-1890
$0.70
This chapter addresses the growth of taxation in Canada in the late nineteenth century to finance the expanding role of the capitalist state infrastructure of roads and bridges and institutions such as asylums, prisons, policing, courts, schools and government departments such as Indian Affairs. It also examines how taxation of seized Indigenous land (now crown land), along with reserves and treaties, in continuing efforts at colonial control, was at odds with and resisted by, Indigenous economic notions and practices.
