Military Entrepreneurs and the Spanish Contractor State in the Eighteenth Century
Author: Rafael Torres Sánchez
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198784112
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Military Entrepreneurs and the Spanish Contractor State in the Eighteenth Century offers a new approach to the relationship between warfare and state construction. Historians looking at how war funding impinged on state development, and how state growth made wars more significant, have tended to downplay the role of military-provisioning entrepreneurs. Written off as corrupt and selfish, these entrepreneurs jarred with the received view of a rationally growing and modernising state. This volume shows that the state-entrepreneur relationship was much more fluid and constant than previously thought. The state was not able to enforce a top-down military supply policy; at the same time it benefited from the entrepreneurs' collaboration and their shared mercantilist ambitions. The entrepreneurs' mobilisation of military supplies was crucial for extending state authority and helped to knit together national and colonial markets. But this fluid state-entrepreneur relationship gradually became shrouded in privileges and monopolies, not so much ideology driven or imposed by the entrepreneurs but rather as an arrangement exploited by the state to boost its control over them, whittling down middlemen and ensuring the solvency and creditworthiness of the chosen few. This arrangement spiralled into a risky inter-dependence and cramped entrepreneurial competition. Rafael Torres Sanchez furnishes new insights into the role of military entrepreneurs in debates about warfare and state construction.

ISBN: 1463314264
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Kurustán es uno de los sitios más hermosos que puedan recordarse en Toril, el planeta más azul del universo. Pero en ese apacible reino ha ocurrido una desgracia de grandes proporciones: unos seres malignos han robado las Llaves de la Historia y el Destino de su recinto sagrado. Por cada día que las llaves no estén resguardadas, Kurustán perderá 10 años de memoria y 10 años de porvenir. Al mismo tiempo, la princesa Galia de Angia ha sido secuestrada. Este libro narra el peligroso viaje, pleno de aventuras, que debe emprender el príncipe Abis, junto con un selecto grupo de guerreros kurus, para recuperar la historia y el destino de su reino, así como rescatar a la bella Galia. Con la sola ayuda de un mapa, la inspiración de sus ancestros, la fe en sus dioses y la trascendencia de su misión, tendrán que enfrentar a las numerosas fuerzas de la oscuridad mientras recorren sitios inhóspitos, en los que encontrarán peligros constantes. Narrado con sencillez por el autor, y enriquecido por bellas ilustraciones y mapas, Las Llaves Sagradas de Kurustán es una invitación a mirar a lo grande, como hacen los niños, para descubrir mundos fantásticos que habitan dentro de nosotros. Es, asimismo, un recordatorio de que los humanos debemos vivir las odiseas necesarias con el fin de construir una gran comunidad pacífica, próspera, justa y armónica. Hay que empezar por imaginarlo para volverlo real.

The War Within
Author: Joël Félix
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319980505
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The international financial crisis of 2007-08 and the ensuing scandals continue to raise important debates about the role of institutions in maintaining trust and fighting corruption, as well as in sustaining economic growth and political stability in a globalized world. This book proposes to historicize these problems by looking at the ways in which early-modern Europe responded to similar challenges brought about by the rising costs of international warfare in a period marked by the development of commercial capitalism and the rise of fiscal states. Building upon the expertise of a group of fiscal historians who are leaders in their respective fields, ten chapters successively examine how Spain, Britain, France, the Southern Low Countries, the Netherlands, Sweden and Prussia dealt with domestic conflicts arising from the business of war, especially issues of financial profit, fraud and corruption. Through a series of case studies, this volume explores how the various European polities engaged with the transformative effects of warfare on the relationship between private and public interests, paving the way for institutional reforms and transformed ethics.

Book Description
Aniversario 27 de la investigación bioenergemal ['espiritual']. Patriarcas, profetas, Buda, Jesús, María, José y socios, lamas y Mahoma se disculpan con sus seguidores por el milenario engaño que han promovido. Todas las figuras religiosas se promueven parasitando sueños, provocando en el soñante escenas e imágenes favorables o desfavorables según a ellas les convenga. Sin este recurso, ellas no hubieran podido publicitarse. Dudas como éstas del Concilio Vaticano II quizá propiciaron el biocolapso ['fallecimiento'] de Juan XXIII. No obstante, este libro no es sobre las religiones, sino acerca de quiénes las figuras religiosas, y muchas personas más, fueron y son. ¡Información excepcional!
