More about the book

Examining the interplay between German political economy and fiscal administration, this work delves into cameral sciences, a distinctive German discipline aimed at training state officials. It reveals these sciences as a blend of natural, technological, and economic studies, serving strategic purposes to gain patronage and enhance the image of German principalities. Through engaging case studies on various sectors, the author challenges established views on the role of science in shaping the perception of the police state in early modern Germany, questioning broader narratives about science and society in that era.
