Hardback. Condition: Good. There are books that casually mention taxation, there are books that briefly discuss state borrowing, and then there is Finance and Government under Maria Theresia 1740?1780 Vol 2: Finance and Credit , which arrives at your desk with the quiet confidence of a man wheeling in an entire eighteenth-centur…y treasury archive on a reinforced cart. PGM Dickson?s monumental study of Habsburg finance is one of those gloriously intimidating academic works whose sheer physical presence alone suggests that somewhere, sometime, somebody spent several consecutive years reading handwritten Austrian fiscal records by candlelight and emerging only occasionally for soup. This is not merely a history book. It is an excavation of the financial bloodstream of an empire. Maria Theresia ruled a sprawling, argumentative and permanently cash-hungry collection of territories at a time when European states had developed the charming habit of funding civilisation, bureaucracy and near-constant warfare with increasingly elaborate systems of debt, taxation and hopeful accounting. Dickson guides the reader through this maze with immense scholarship, dissecting the mechanics of imperial credit, public borrowing, administrative reform and fiscal survival with a level of detail that would probably make modern finance ministers quietly leave the room. And yet, oddly enough, it becomes fascinating. Beneath the formidable academic exterior lurks the timeless human story of governments desperately trying to find money while avoiding complete collapse. Some things, it seems, never truly go out of fashion. The eighteenth century may have lacked spreadsheets and televised budget announcements, but it certainly understood deficits, panic, creative borrowing and the eternal belief that one more loan might somehow solve everything. There is a wonderful irony in the fact that the machinery of empire so often comes down not to grand speeches or battlefield heroics, but to ledgers, bond markets and exhausted officials trying to calculate how many florins are theoretically still available somewhere in central Europe. Dickson treats this world with immense seriousness and astonishing command, producing a work that has long been regarded as a major scholarly achievement in economic and imperial history. This is very much a book for serious readers, historians, economists, researchers and collectors of heavyweight academic publishing. The Clarendon Press production carries all the reassuring authority of a volume designed less for casual beach reading than for permanent residence in university libraries where students whisper fearfully in its general direction. An essential work on Habsburg administration, eighteenth-century finance and the hidden economic machinery behind European power politics. Also ideal for anyone who has ever looked at a modern national budget and wondered whether governments have actually changed very much since 1740. Condition: Good. Sold by Crappy Old Books, where empires rise, borrow heavily and eventually end up shelved alphabetically.
