It's that time again! Here's some of a rave review from just one source https://www.goodreads.com Goodreads that hits all the history and high-notes and goes like this when Frisby himself does some interviews and talk-shows to make us realize that labor is the most taxed asset. That's an eye-opener for many going back to feudal times and indentured servants - it's become a fact-of-life for many and as certain as death and dying when income taxes became the law of the land to pay-off a war, but never got taken off the books ...". . . In Daylight Robbery, Dominic Frisby traces the origins of taxation, from its roots in the ancient world, through to today. He explores the role of tax in the formation of our global religions, the part tax played in wars and revolutions throughout the ages, why, at one stage, we paid tax for daylight or for growing a beard. Ranging from the despotic to the absurd, the tax laws of the past reveal so much about how we got to where we are today and what we can do to build a system fit for the future.
Dominic Frisby is a comedian from London.
But his first book, Life After The State, has nothing to do with comedy. It is a deadly serious dismantling of the way societies are run in the west, outlining the damage governments unknowingly do to their people, with simple suggestions about how things can be vastly improved

Daylight Robbery – How Tax Shaped Our Past and Will Change Our Future
My new book Daylight robbery comes out this Thursday and I am very excited.
I was planning to knock it out in a couple of months after Edinburgh 2016 and it ended up taking me the best part of three years to write. The history of tax is as old as the history of civilisation, so there was a lot to get through. But I reckon it’s my best yet.
You can order a copy at Amazon, of, if you prefer, I’ve got a few signed hardbacks for sale. If you’d like one cost is £22.50 including p&p. (If you want to send it outside the UK, please drop me a line at frizzers at gmail.com)
(If you order one, can you drop me a line saying if you want just a signature or a personal note frizzers at gmail.com).
If you want a cheaper, non-signed version, then go via Amazon.
If you’re an audiobook person, that comes out on Thursday too.
The response so far has been better than I could have expected:
“A book about tax, that is readable, fascinating – and fun! Sounds impossible, I know. But that’s what Dominic Frisby has written,” Liam Halligan, Telegraph
“A brilliant book,” Douglas Carswell
“A tour de force” Matt Ridley
“A must-read” Roger Bootle
“A great read” George Galloway
“A real page-turner” Steve Baker”
“Spectacular” Mark Littlewood
“A fascinating, must-read” Liz Truss
“Masterful” Jon Matonis
“Utterly gripping” Simon Evans
“Fantastic ” Roger Ver
“Hugely engaging” Merryn Somerset Webb
“Both amusing and informative, it’s a romp” Bill Bonner
“You need to read this book”, Greg Moffitt.
“Hugely readable,” Sam Packer, Tax Payers Alliance
“Frisby’s tax book is REALLY good. I can’t recommend it highly enough,” James Delingpole
