Across the developing world, governments still lack the fiscal capacity to fund critical public goods, alleviate poverty, and invest in economic development.

Drawing on work in psychology and behavioral economics, it argues that taxation leads citizens to demand more from leaders as they seek to recover lost income from taxation.
