Abstract
The article argues that any analysis of tax policies must be grounded in the given societyâs âmode of productionâ. This is demonstrated through analysis of the political relationship between the Abbasid state and the landlords, and the reasons why certain prominent Muslim jurists between 750 and ca. 900. promoted muqÄsama in the SawÄd of Iraq. These juristsâ tax policy is explained with reference to Haldonâs concept of the tributary mode of production. It is concluded that according to the jurists, muqÄsama favoured a redistribution of surpluses between the state and the landowners which could strengthen relations between the Abbasid state and the powerful landlords in Iraq.
