Synopsis

This book explores the origins and historical evolution of the French government's sale of rentes, financial instruments similar to bonds, to private investors beginning in the 16th century. The author traces the development of rentes from their inception as a means for the French monarchy to fund military campaigns to their transformation into a sophisticated financial system that played a major role in the country's economy. Along the way, the author examines the legal framework that governed rentes, the role of the monarchy and the Catholic Church in their administration, and the impact of rentes on the lives of ordinary French citizens. The book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of finance and the development of capitalism in early modern Europe.
