Abstract: Abstract The introduction sets out the aims of the work in the context of state-building theories and reviews the current state of literature on the definitions and practices of corruption, which it seeks to historicise. It surveys the main conclusions of the various chapters and proposes a typology of the relationship between private interests and public good in early modern Europe, in an age of major change and conflict which saw the rise of the fiscal state.
