Description

DoP - March 2008
The religious believe they can avoid death...they know they can avoid tax. In this provocative book Max Wallace argues democracies should be republics characterised by constitutional separations of church and state. The failure of democracies to fully realise this distinction constitutionally has seen churches become immensely wealthy as a consequence of their centuries old tax-exempt status as charities that 'advance religion'. Their wealth is now a recognisable financial phenomenon - the Purple Economy.
