These smugglers were in fact less violent and dangerous than the gangs operating along the Guiers, a region where the landscape and weather conditions were more effective at limiting the activities of criminals. In order to curb this salt smuggling, a series of custom houses and barriers were constructed across major roads and rivers in Bengal to collect tax on traded salt as well as duties on tobacco and other imports.

The consumption per person was a lot higher in regions of small Gabelle tax than in other areas. There are also good, thorough notes, and the story is printed in columns, to give the reader an authentic sense of the newspaper's layout and pace. Eventually, this Inland Customs Line extended all the way into Punjab in the north. In regions where price was higher, people consumed less than half of what the average person took west of the line. De Nerval has this way of startling the reader into a reverie, startling fiction into history and back again, and startling prose into poetry. A candle would be placed in the window of the Saltersgate Inn that would warn others of taxmen being in the pub.

Generally embarked on the vessel of the king, they must face the crossing under often-painful conditions. Some agree to work as farm labourers or experts; others become apprentices or servants. In these negotiations, solliciteurs 18 and other intermediaries played a key role, as did the networks of patronage or clientelism through institutionalised lobbying. This was just as easily carried out, and supported in castles, little cottages and even monasteries where salt tax collectors' visits had to be predicted and regulated; a council ruling ordered that the diocesan bishop give permission for entry to nunneries, requiring the presence of an elected official or one from the salt storehouse, or, in emergencies, the aid of a magistrate or regular priest.

  • Early Modern France, 1450-1700
    Early Modern France, 1450-1700 PHILIP T. HOFFMAN T 1s ALWAYS SAID," observed Richelieu in his Testament politique, I "that money forms the sinews of the state." 1 Most historians of early modern France would agree. "Absolutism was, in large part, the child of the fisc," notes one influential essay on early modern France, and a chorus of recent works repeats the same refrain.2 Fiscal crises, it seems, provoked nearly every change in the French political system from the Hundred Years War to the Revolution; and the tax system brings into sharper focus than any other facet of the French state both the limits of absolutism and the peculiar nature of liberty in France. To speak of the limits of absolutism may of course seem self contradictory, particularly in the case of the kings of France, who have usually been considered models of unconstrained power, able to judge, to legislate, and to tax at will. But in practice absolutism was hemmed in on all sides. To begin with, any king, even a Louis XIV, could only tax the wealth available in his country: he could not take what his subjects did not have. In France the wealth available was by and large land-some 464,000 square kilometers at the end of the sixteenth century, and 514,000 a century later. The king's subjects­ roughly 8 million in 1440, 16 million in 1560 and 1600, and 27 mil­ lion at the end of the Old Regime-by and large tilled the soil. It is estimated that 73 percent of them worked in agriculture in 1500, a figure that fell only slightly in the next two centuries: to 69 percent in 1600 and to 63 percent in 1700.

    I. Introduction Under socialist central planning, fiscal policy plays a passive role in the sense that government finances are entirely subordinate to the economic plan. Only when central planning is relaxed or dismantled, can fiscal instruments begin to make a distinct contribution to macro- economic stabilization, equity, and allocative efficiency. This evolving role of fiscal policy was evident in some European socialist countries already in the 1980s, even though most attempts at economic reform were still subject to rigid ideological constraints (one-party rule, state ownership of productive capacity, etc.). 1/ However, by 1990, with many of these countries—in particular, Czechoslovakia, the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), Hungary, and Poland — committed to full transformation to a market-oriented economy, rather than to a partially reformed halfway house, public sector reform moved to center stage. Drawing on some tentative lessons from the experience accumulated thus far, this paper focuses on fiscal reform in Central and East European countries, including the USSR, in the context of a comprehen- sive systemic transformation. Without pretending to provide an exhaus- tive or conclusive analysis, it presents an integrated treatment of major fiscal policy issues, that is both meaningful for the practitioner and useful for the analyst who can obtain only limited relevant guidance from existing theoretical work or from structural reforms pursued here- tofore in mixed economies. Following a discussion of the background of fiscal reform in European countries in transition, the paper examines key issues in the principal areas of public finance: taxation, subsidies, social security, public investment, public enterprises, government debt, and fiscal decentralization.

  • Our Ocean Backyard –– Santa Cruz Sentinel Columns by Gary Griggs, Director, Institute of Marine Sciences, UC Santa Cruz
    Our Ocean Backyard –– Santa Cruz Sentinel columns by Gary Griggs, Director, Institute of Marine Sciences, UC Santa Cruz. #163 July 26, 2014 More Salt from the Sea If not on our minds, drought is right there in front of us in the news most days. We had visitors from the southern California city of Manhattan Beach this past weekend and were comparing our water conservation measures. I asked, how much rain did you get this past winter, and was surprised to hear the response- “It didn’t rain last winter in Manhattan Beach!” In this time of extreme drought in California, we don’t really have a water shortage, we just have a fresh water shortage. Unfortunately for us, 97.2% of all of the water on Earth is salty and is in the oceans where it is not particularly useful to people. Once separated from sea water, however, salt, or more precisely, halite or table salt, has always been a valued commodity. Saltiness is one of the most basic human tastes, and as a result, salt has long been one of the most widely used seasonings. It has also been used for preserving food for centuries. Virtually all of the earliest civilizations harvested, traded or used salt; whether the Chinese, Hebrews and Hittites, Greeks and Romans, or Byzantines, they all valued salt. The earliest evidence of salt ponds or extraction date back about 8000 years. Salt was traded across the Mediterranean by ships, carried across the desert by camels, and even used as currency in parts of Africa. Those peoples or regions that had salt deposits grew wealthy from the trade or use of salt, and many governments throughout history have taxed salt as a way of generating income and subjugating people.
