| Summary/Abstract |
At the turn of the twentieth century,
the U.S. system of public ½nance underwent
a dramatic structural transformation.
The late-nineteenth-century system
of indirect national taxes-associated
mainly with the highly partisan
tariff and regressive excise taxes on alcohol
and tobacco-was eclipsed in the
early twentieth century by a professionally
administered, graduated income tax
that soon accounted for more than half
of all federal tax revenue. This seismic
shift toward direct and progressive taxation
marked the emergence of a new
½scal polity, one guided not simply by
the functional need for revenue, but by
social concerns about justice, fairness,
and the equitable distribution of ½scal
obligations.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article discusses some of the background and early intellectual influences of Andrew Marshall and the development of the net assessment framework. In particular, it focuses on some of the intellectual foundations for net assessment, key characteristics, and how the style, vision, and ideas of Andrew Marshall have been and continue to be influential for performing net assessment. While focusing mostly on the intellectual/biographical aspects of Marshall's ideas and thoughts, the topic demonstrates significant scholarly implications for current and future strategists, such as the significance of interdisciplinary research for strategic thinking (such as that conducted by the RAND Corporation in the 1950s and 1960s) and the importance of diagnosis in strategy.
