Johnson and Mark Koyama ! George Mason University Department of Economics Paper No. 12-49 Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2130956 Standardizing the Fiscal State: Cabal Tax Farming as an Intermediate Institution in Early-Modern England and France⇤ Noel D. Johnson† and Mark Koyama ‡ George Mason University This Version: 31 July 2012 Abstract How did modern and centralized fiscal institutions emerge? We develop a model that explains (i) why pre-industrial states relied on private individuals to collect taxes; (ii) why after 1600 both England and France moved from competitive methods for collecting revenues to allocating the right to collect taxes to a small group of financiers—a interme- diate institution that we call cabal tax farming—-and (iii) why this centralization led to investments in fiscal capacity and increased fiscal standardization. We provide detailed historical evidence that supports our prediction that rulers abandoned the competitive allocation of tax rights in favor of cabal tax farming in order to gain access to inside credit and that this transition was accompanied by investments in standardization. Fi- nally (iv) we show why this intermediate institution proved to be self-undermining in England where it was quickly replaced by direct collection, but lasted in France until the French Revolution. Key words: State Capacity, Standardization, Tax Farming, France, England, Transaction Costs JEL classification: N23, N44, H11, K00, D02 ⇤We are grateful to Alex Mislin and Doug Allen for detailed comments on an earlier version of this paper.

It argues that it was the tension between Charles II’s desire and attempts to rule personally and his opponents’ desire and attempts to prevent him from doing so, which drove politics and change during the 1670s.

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.

  • The Turbulent Careers of the Earls of Danby and Shaftesbury
    The Turbulent Careers of the Earls of Danby and Shaftesbury Synopsis Thomas Osborne, Earl of Danby and later 1st Duke of Leeds, and Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury, were two of the most significant political figures in post-restoration England. They had radically different political outlooks, but above all else, each craved power and their rivalry in the 1670s left its mark on history. Their efforts to build support led directly to the emergence of the first political parties; a government or Court block of support, was built up by Osborne, and would later be characterised as Tory, while the Whigs grew out of Ashley Cooper’s opposition grouping. Other innovations in the period have also survived to the present day. However, politics was still a risky occupation, and both men spent lengthy periods in the Tower; Osborne for almost 5 years and Ashley Cooper for 18 months in two spells, before he finally fled the country shortly before his death in 1682. Osborne governed England between 1674 and 1679, not least because of his mastery of the nation’s finances, though he was unable to achieve the same control of foreign policy for which his objectives diverged from those of King Charles II. In the same period, and for a few years afterwards, Ashley Cooper mounted an effective opposition which eventually overthrew Osborne, and he came close to altering the Royal succession, and establishing himself as the chief power in the land. The careers engrossed much else besides. Ashley Cooper fought on both sides in the Civil War, held important office under Cromwell and then Charles II, and became one of the leading members of the notorious Cabal ministry.
