Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the key factors that led to the economic and military challenges that confronted Britain during the period leading up to, and immediately after, the Act of Union, in the early 18th century. The author provides an overview of the consequences of ongoing war, debt, and the emerging dominance of the financial sector over the landed gentry and other productive sectors of the economy. The opaque nature of the financial system favoured speculation, corruption, and abuse, and the State's reliance on the credit and mechanisms of newly-minted financial institutions led to damaging consequences for the Exchequer. The author demonstrates the grave dangers of an unfettered financial sector based on debt that fail to adequately serve the wider productive economy and advocates for a more robust system of taxation that seeks to share the burden of national recovery and development more equitably.
