About this title

Synopsis

This book examines the history and principles of Britain's growing national debt from the 1600s to early 1800s. The author ponders how the national debt came into being and grew over time and then examines the various plans that were created to manage and reduce it. Their analysis leads to a discussion of the ways public debt is calculated as part of a nation's budget and how such debt is often mistakenly understood. By analyzing past financial policies, this book seeks to shed light on the benefits and risks of various debt reduction schemes and considers their relevance to prudent financial policy in the present day.
