"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."
""Brewer's ... analysis makes clear that the drastic increase in Britain's military involvement (and success) in Europe, the growth of English armies and navies to unprecedented size, the expansion of her commercial and imperial interests--none of this would have happened without a concurrent radical increase in taxation, along with a surge in deficit financing and the growth of a substantial public administration"--Jacket, p. [2]."
"This powerful interpretation of English history provides a completely new framework for understanding how Britain emerged in the eighteenth century as a major international power. Brewers brilliant analysis makes clear that the drastic increase in Britain's military involvement (and success) in Europe and the expansion of her commercial and imperial interests would not have happened without a concurrent radical increase in taxation, along with a surge in deficit financing and the growth of a substantial public administration. Warfare and taxes reshaped the English economy, and at the heart of these dramatic changes lay an issue that is still very much with us today: the tension between a nation's aspirations to be a major power and fear of the domestic consequences of such an ambition--namely, the loss of liberty."
