Mark Dincecco’s work explores how political changes shaped public finance systems across Europe between 1650 and 1913. The book investigates the long-term historical relationship between state-building, taxation, public debt, and economic development. Using both qualitative and quantitative evidence, Dincecco demonstrates how transformations in political institutions influenced fiscal capacity and the ability of states to fund war, infrastructure, and economic growth. It is particularly valuable for readers interested in the intersection of political economy, history, and public finance.
