"The British fiscal-military state, as it emerged from the political and military battles that marked the struggle with Louis XIV, lacked many of the features we normally associate with a 'strong state,' yet therein lay its effectiveness. The constrains on power meant that when it was exercised, it was exercised fully."
評分The sinews of war are infinite money --- Cicero.
評分關於英國財政-軍事國傢興起的經典研究。三點值得注意:議會在塑造國傢能力中發揮重要作用;英國走嚮現代國傢的重要動力來自法國的國際壓力,過去被認為威脅自由的金鐵國傢成為維護自由的唯一手段;適度介入歐洲、藉助盟友牽製法國是實現遠洋貿易戰略的前提。金鐵動力機製如何融入憲政架構是關鍵問題。

Under the later Stuarts, England became a major European military power, English armies and navies grew to an unprecedented size, civilian administration burgeoned and taxation, public borrowing and spending on war reached new heights. This work examines the causes of the emergence in England of this fiscal-military state and the features which distinguished it from European powers. It also charts the effect of these developments on society at large: their impact on the economy, on social structure and politics and their role in developing special interest groups and lobbies. Thus it provided an interpretative framework which links adminstration with politics, public finance with the economy and foreign policy with domestic affairs.
