This book offers a complete historical analysis of the particular and characteristic taxation of the Canary Islands. This work deals, therefore, with analyzing the construction of the modern State in the Canary Islands through the progressive implementation of a viable treasury system. A panorama of several centuries of struggle between a Monarchy in transition towards a national State and a Canarian society that seeks to have the necessary and sufficient institutional conditions to stimulate its economic development.
