Using data from the archives of the Venetian Terraferma, and compared with information available for elsewhere in Europe, Guido Alfani and Matteo Di Tullio demonstrate that the rise of the fiscal-military state served to increase economic inequality in the early modern period. Preindustrial fiscal systems tended to be regressive in nature, and increased post-tax inequality compared to pre-tax - in contrast to what we would assume is the case in contemporary societies. This led to greater and greater disparities in wealth, which were made worse still as taxes were collected almost entirely to fund war and defence rather than social welfare. Though focused on Old Regime Europe, Alfani and Di Tullio's findings speak to contemporary debates about the roots of inequality and social stratification. 648 7 $a To 1797 $2 fast 650 0 $a Fiscal policy $z Venice $z Venice $x History. 650 0 $a Income distribution $z Venice $z Venice $x History. 650 0 $a Equality $z Venice $z Venice $x History. 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Equality. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914456 650 7 $a Fiscal policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00925806 650 7 $a Income distribution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968670 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $x Economic conditions $y To 1797. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2003004381 651 7 $a Italy $z Venice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204473 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 $a Di Tullio, Matteo, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011183243 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in economic history. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2003113293 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B77FCC01E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
