| Sumario: | This book contains a collection of essays comparing the evolution of the fiscal and monetary regimes of the Old World colonial powers: England, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century with the experiences of several of their former colonies in the New World of the Americas: the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina. The objective is to see how such fiscal and monetary institutions were modified or replaced by new ones. The case studies in the collection consider the experience of the colonies after they became independent countries; they examine the factors that allowed efficient fiscal institutions to develop in some countries, while in others such development turned out to be unsuccessful; and they consider why some governments were able to live within their means and provide public goods, while for others expenditures often exceeded revenue, often leading to fiscal crises |
