A Treatise On The Administration Of The Finances Of France V2 (1786) is a book written by Jacques Necker, a Swiss banker and statesman who served as the Director-General of Finance under King Louis XVI of France. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the financial situation of France during the late 18th century, including its revenue and expenditure, debt, taxation, and economic policies. Necker argues that the financial crisis facing France was not due to excessive spending, but rather to a lack of transparency and accountability in the administration of public finances. He proposes a number of reforms aimed at improving the efficiency and fairness of the tax system, reducing wasteful spending, and increasing public participation in the budgetary process. The book is considered a seminal work in the history of public finance and has had a significant influence on subsequent debates about economic policy and government accountability.In Three Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
