 Eine moralische Ökonomie der Steuern?: Der Widerstand gegen die Reichssteuern als Kampf um politische Partizipation (Sachsen-Thüringen, 17.–18. Jahrhundert)Renault Rachel ()
Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftsgeschichte / Economic History Yearbook, 2021, vol. 62, issue 2, 303-331 Abstract: This article analyses the conflicts over imperial taxation in 17th-18th century Germany at local level. As imperial taxes have been mostly studied for the 16th century and usually from the perspective of Vienna, observing them from below gives a completely different perspective. One can observe, in particular, very strong and long-lasting conflicts between subjects and territorial princes. The article defends the idea that taxation conflicts are not only due to the size of the tax burden, but also linked to social and political considerations. They provide an excellent vantage point for analysing the Empire from below and the popular politics that emerged within the imperial body politic.
