This is a study of early modern government finance in the kingdom
of Naples, one of the most important European dominions of the
Spanish Empire. Professor Calabria focuses on the period from the
mid-sixteenth century to the time of the Thirty Years' War. He
connects fiscal developments to larger issues, such as the
seventeenth-century crisis, the decline of Italy and Spain, and the
economic and social significance of investments in government
securities markets in early modern Europe. The Cost of Empire
blends quantitative data on economic, fiscal, and financial affairs
with non-quantitative material detailing attitudes, economic
behaviour, and administrative practices. The quantitative material
includes analyses of government budgets from 1550 to 1638 and a
computer study of about 4,500 investors and their investments in
state securities in the later sixteenth century. The work is
unrivalled in the breadth, comprehensiveness, and sophistication of
its analysis of an early modern fiscal system.
