Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an adept analysis of the State of Finances during Francis I's reign, with an emphasis on 1523. It places focus on the pressures of international expansion, and subsequent impact on the financial infrastructure of France, as well as the depth of the financial crisis necessitated by heavy expenditures for foreign wars, particularly in Italy. The author examines the extensive loans, excessive anticipations on future income, and the plethora of expedient tactics employed by the French government to meet the demands of 1523. This ultimately led to a restructuring of financial administration, resulting in the creation of the Trà sor de lâÃpargne, and ended the pre-eminence of the financial oligarchy that had thrived under past monarchs. By examining the financial constraints that led to administrative reform, this book not only illuminates the complexities of French fiscal policy but also underscores the broader political and social consequences of financial crisis and the significance of the ensuing administrative overhaul.
