Throughout history, tax regime and provision of public services were two axes have been crucial to define the authorities' perception of the people over whom they rule and, vice versa, the attitude of the people towards their rulers. This chapter explores how far does the system respect the subjects' rights? How far is it committed to leading society towards progress and prosperity? This research is based on records in Tripoli, Lebanon during the period of Ottoman rule, and sheds light on relations between Arabs and Turks. Taxes on crops affected villages more than cities, while cities were more affected by taxes on commerce, crafts, and services. The Ottomans took the wealth of the region from the local inhabitants, who seem to have accepted being enslaved also by the Sultan's governors. The inhabitants were somehow unaware that they were being colonized. The chapter speculates the reasons for this state of affairs.
