Japanese history
News about taxes is increasing. The highest tax rate in the Edo period was "Go-Ku-Go-Min," and about 50% of the harvest was taken from taxes, which caused an uprising. Today, the tax burden on workers is almost as high. Despite high prices, income does not increase and taxes go up. Which is more difficult to live in these days or in the Edo period? In this book, we convert income, prices, taxes, etc. in the Edo period into current prices based on rice prices and compare them with those of the present.
