| Abstract
|
:
|
Probing the relationship between German political economy and everyday fiscal administration, The Disordered Police State focuses on the cameral sciences-a peculiarly German body of knowledge designed to train state officials-and in so doing offers a new vision of science and practice during the seventeenth and eighteenth-centuries.
