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.
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.
引用這本書的人很多,但真正讀懂的沒有幾個。居然還有人認為這本書是受North 和 Weingast 的影響,簡直就是笑話。

评分"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."
评分關於光榮革命之後英國財政-軍事國傢形成的經典著作。也是瞭解18世紀不列顛帝國與北美殖民地之間爭執之性質的優秀著作。
