Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the financial history of the United Kingdom from the 1688 Revolution to the end of the Napoleonic Wars, setting the growth in national debt and expenditure against the backdrop of concurrent political events. The author details the genesis of government bonds, customs and excise duties, lotteries, and national debt during the reign of William III, and analyzes the creation of the Bank of England and the South Sea Company during the reign of Queen Anne. The text places the ever-increasing debt burden of the 18th century within the context of costly wars, pension distributions, and excessive royal expenditures, while highlighting the pivotal expansion of the military in this period. The book shows how the interplay between ambitious rulers, public perception, and national resources shaped the economic policies of the period, providing a crucial perspective for understanding contemporary fiscal structures. Its meticulous research and accessible language make it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of economics and Britain's national finance.
