comment When did polygamy start becoming illegal?
Flimzy you are correct. Judaism doesn't prohibit polygamy. Something else did. I pick this as the answer because there is no better answer.

2% of wealth is not low. Interest rate alone is 4% in US. But it's interesting that they tax capital owners rather than working class.

+1 for all the legitimate comments with common sense. Of course history is a great way, if not the only way, to understand human nature. Ask a religious leader why we have to obey the king, and he will say that God pick the king and we have to obey God. Only historians can relate how much we have to obey the king to how well we can shoot longbows. It shows the real politically incorrect but factually correct mechanism of how politics evolve.

And who need public spending if the market can perform the same spending far more efficiently anyway.

I want details. Do they have head tax? Income tax? Profit tax? Inflation adjusted tax?

Religion is never the true reason. Religion is always a mask of something those in power already want.

Okay I get rid the Matt Ridley part. So far no answer is legitimate though. I know Rome prohibit polygamy but allow concubines. So something happened even before that.
