Excerpt from La Contribution Personnelle Et Mobilière Pendant la Révolution
En l'an III, la Convention, impuissante à adopter un mode d'imposition meilleur que le précédent, s'arrête à des bases très simples, une taxe personnelle et des taxes somptuaires, qui ne possèdent aucun des défauts dont on s'était plaint antérieurement, mais dont l'inconvénient le plus grave est de ne procurer que des recettes absolument insuffisantes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed examination of the origins and subsequent transformations of two revolutionary French taxes: the Personal Contribution and the Mobilier Contribution. Both taxes played a significant role in financing the French Revolution, and the author traces their evolution from the vestiges of the Ancien RÃ gime through to their ultimate consolidation in the 19th century. The book also sheds light on the fiscal ideas that guided the revolutionary period, highlighting the shift from an arbitrary and inequitable system to one based on equality before the tax. Through archival research and a careful analysis of parliamentary debates, the author provides a comprehensive account of the political and economic circumstances surrounding these taxes, making this book an invaluable resource for scholars of the French Revolution, fiscal history, and taxation.
