The international financial crisis of 2007-08 and the ensuing
scandals continue to raise important debates about the role of
institutions in maintaining trust and fighting corruption, as well
as in sustaining economic growth and political stability in a
globalized world. This book proposes to historicize these problems
by looking at the ways in which early-modern Europe responded to
similar challenges brought about by the rising costs of
international warfare in a period marked by the development of
commercial capitalism and the rise of fiscal states. Building upon
the expertise of a group of fiscal historians who are leaders in
their respective fields, ten chapters successively examine how
Spain, Britain, France, the Southern Low Countries, the
Netherlands, Sweden and Prussia dealt with domestic conflicts
arising from the business of war, especially issues of financial
profit, fraud and corruption. Through a series of case studies,
this volume explores how the various European polities engaged with
the transformative effects of warfare on the relationship between
private and public interests, paving the way for institutional
reforms and transformed ethics.
