Abstract

In July 2012 historians and economists met in Paris for a conference entitled State Cash Resources and State Building in Europe: taxation and public debt, 13th-18th centuries. This volume is one of the products of that meeting. By making these essays available in both French and English translations, the editors hope to ensure a wide audience for an important set of contributions on questions relating to the development and management of public finance and its connection with the growth and power of the early modern state. Contributors were asked to consider three major themes in their essays: first, the choices that faced states seeking to raise funds and, in particular, questions of how to balance taxation and borrowing. Second, contributors were asked to explore the connections between political regime and finance. This included the much-explored question of whether particular regimes were more effective at raising funds and were viewed as more reliable borrowers but the essays also ask how the rights of creditors were enforced and how creditors monitored those to whom they lent money. The final theme concerned the primary and secondary markets in state debt and here the contributors focused on questions of liquidity, transparency and the skills of those who traded and manipulated the instruments of the state’s debt. The resulting essays offer a comparative perspective over six centuries of European history. Taken together they provide a rich new resource and challenge both the neat dichotomies that have been drawn between absolutist and constitutional states and entrenched ideas about how practice evolved and knowledge and skills were shared and transferred between actors and states.

Abstract

"Cet ouvrage présente, dans une perspective comparatiste et sur la longue durée, les moyens de mobilisation des ressources publiques des Etats médiévaux et modernes, dont les besoins de fonds sont accrus par les guerres. Couvrant six siècles de l'histoire de l'Europe occidentale, les contributions étudient les transformations des méthodes de financement (émission monétaire, fiscalité, emprunt public à court ou long terme, forcé ou volontaire, vente d'offices) et les institutions, les acteurs, les marchés primaire et secondaire des titres de dette. Elles interrogent les modèles d'organisation politique et leurs interactions avec le drainage efficace de l'argent, la construction d'une information statistique, financière et fiscale et ses conséquences sur la prise de décision des gouvernants. Elles invitent à examiner l'impact des innovations financières, les différents modes d'anticipation des ressources et les effets macroéconomiques des mécanismes de mobilisation de la richesse privée. Elles explorent l'influence de déterminants tels que les dimensions spatiales des Etats, les régimes politiques, l'inégale distribution des richesses, l'utilisation du privilège, les différents degrés de risque imposés aux prêteurs, pour expliquer comment et pourquoi un mode de financement l'emporte ici et non ailleurs.--Page 4 of cover.
