This volume provides a history of tax limitation movements in America, showing how direct democracy can, ironically, lead to diminished public involvement in government. Contrary to conventional wisdom, recent ballot initiatives to limit state taxes in the USA have not been the result of a groundswell of public outrage. Instead, they have been carefully orchestrated from the top down by professional tax crusaders: political entrepreneurs with their own agenda.

Political scientist Daniel Smith follows the evolution of such famous ballot initiatives as California's Proposition 13 and Amendment 1 in Colorado--and challenges the view that direct democracy gives citizens greater voice.
