The Sinews of Power pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
John Brewer is Director of the Center for Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Studies and Director of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at the University of California at Los Angeles.

The constrains on power meant that when it was exercised, it was exercised fully."

评分关于英国财政-军事国家兴起的经典研究。三点值得注意:议会在塑造国家能力中发挥重要作用;英国走向现代国家的重要动力来自法国的国际压力,过去被认为威胁自由的金铁国家成为维护自由的唯一手段;适度介入欧洲、借助盟友牵制法国是实现远洋贸易战略的前提。金铁动力机制如何融入宪政架构是关键问题。
