This book traces the development of the fee system in Europe from ancient Greece through the Middle Ages, then across the Atlantic to colonial America and the United States. It shows how fees, as a payment for a government service stemming from a special privilege, arose from a system of tolls and progressed into a complex apparatus of licensed professions, legal fees, and public goods. The author demonstrates how the fee has changed over time to take on a more modern character, playing a key role in funding essential state functions and the rise of public welfare. This detailed study provides valuable background on the history, legal philosophy, and functioning of a system that is as complex theoretically as it is practically in modern society.
