“…Resulta también interesante el estudio del ámbito cortesano, espacio donde la nobleza jugaba un papel vital. Se trata de un tema que cuenta con un amplio desarrollo en otros estados europeos, destacando las investigaciones de John Elliott 20 , Norbert Elias 21 Sharon Kettering 22 , Renata Ago 23 o Linda Levy Peck 24 . En el caso español podemos destacar los trabajos de José Martínez Millán 25 y su equipo en el Instituto Universitario "La Corte de Europa".…”

Durante la Edad Moderna asistimos a un proceso de renovación del estamento nobiliario, por el cual nuevos linajes, muchos de ellos de origen converso, se van a incorporar a la nobleza. Este fenómeno de promoción social y ennoblecimiento tiene un claro reflejo en el patrimonio, convertido este en un medio a través del cual expresar el poder, la riqueza y el nuevo estatus social del linaje. En este caso pretendemos estudiar una de estas familias, los Bernuy, un linaje que durante los siglos de la Modernidad experimentará un impresionante ascenso social que les llevará desde el patriciado urbano burgalés hasta la nobleza titulada, atendiendo a como este proceso se ve reflejado en el patrimonio artístico vinculado al linaje. Pretendemos con esto evidenciar la importancia del colectivo judeoconverso en la promoción artística durante la Edad Moderna y la necesidad de su estudio.

“…Harding (1981) suggests that the practitioners and beneficiaries of the often subtle game of seeking and receiving patronage may have been just as keen to protect it from corruption as its critics were to construe it as corruption (p. 63). As Peck (1990) observes, contested rhetorical denunciations of patronage as corruption resulted in the concept of corruption becoming a crucial ideological weapon in parliamentary efforts to control royal revenues in seventeenth-century England (pp. 186, 203).…”

Standardizing the Fiscal State: Cabal Tax Farming as an Intermediate Institution in Early-Modern England and France

How did modern and centralized fiscal institutions emerge? We develop a model that explains (i) why pre-industrial states relied on private individuals to collect taxes; (ii) why after 1600 both England and France moved from competitive methods for collecting revenues to allocating the right to collect taxes to a small group of financiers-a intermediate institution that we call cabal tax farming--and (iii) why this centralization led to investments in fiscal capacity and increased fiscal standardization. We provide detailed historical evidence that supports our prediction that rulers abandoned the competitive allocation of tax rights in favor of cabal tax farming in order to gain access to inside credit and that this transition was accompanied by investments in standardization. Finally (iv) we show why this intermediate institution proved to be self-undermining in England where it was quickly replaced by direct collection, but lasted in France until the French Revolution.
