Historians looking at how war funding impinged on state development, and how state growth made wars more significant, have tended to downplay the role of military-provisioning entrepreneurs. This volume shows that the state-entrepreneur relationship was much more fluid and constant than previously thought. The author furnishes new insights into the role of military entrepreneurs in debates about warfare and state construction."--}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198784111}, recid = {756905}, pages = {1 online resource (xvii, 297 pages) :}, }
