This book develops new theory about the link between debt and democracy and applies it to a classic historical comparison: Great Britain in the eighteenth century which had strong representative institutions and sound public finance vs. ancient regime France, which had neither.

Críticas

Review of the hardback: '... this stimulating study ... raises some fundamental questions about our understanding of the eighteenth-century state ... Stasavage has produced a work that will give historians of eighteenth-century politics and government finance much food for thought.' European History Quarterly

Review of the hardback: '... remarkably rich book ... intelligent and innovative ... a very comprehensive book on an interesting subject ... I have learned quite a few interesting things on the evolution of public debt management over the centuries and I have a feeling that many of us who discuss the pros and cons of public debt today would gain some useful insights by reading this book.' History of Economic Ideas
