Professor Calabria focuses on the period from the mid-sixteenth century to the time of the Thirty Years' War. He connects fiscal developments to larger issues, such as the seventeenth-century crisis, the decline of Italy and Spain, and the economic and social significance of investments in government securities markets in early modern Europe. The Cost of Empire blends quantitative data on economic, fiscal, and financial affairs with non-quantitative material detailing attitudes, economic behaviour, and administrative practices. The quantitative material includes analyses of government budgets from 1550 to 1638 and a computer study of about 4,500 investors and their investments in state securities in the later sixteenth century. The work is unrivalled in the breadth, comprehensiveness, and sophistication of its analysis of an early modern fiscal system. 410 0$aCambridge studies in early modern history. 606 $aFinance, Public$zItaly$zNaples (Kingdom)$xHistory 607 $aNaples (Kingdom)$xAppropriations and expenditures$xHistory 607 $aNaples (Kingdom)$xHistory$ySpanish rule, 1442-1707 615 0$aFinance, Public$xHistory. 676 $a336.45/7 700 $aCalabria$b Antonio$f1941-$0246314 801 0$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247919003316 996 $aThe cost of empire$92409931 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
