Do Paying Taxes Make Sense? Exploring the Tax Semiosphere in Light of Artistic Icons
摘要
Based on the premise that the figure of the State emerges as a political-legal fiction conceived to make viable the desires of social organization of a population, systems of signs are organized through legal systems, especially as form of rights and duties, to operationalize coexistence in society and, consequently, to provide an environment for the exercise of citizenship.
