BROGGIA, CARLO ANTONIO
Trattato de' Tributi, delle Monete, e del Governo Politico della Sanitˆ ...
8vo, contemporary vellum with mss. title on spine, an unsophisticated copy. Pp. (14), XVIII, 572, (4). First edition of this classic work in the history of economy. Schumpeter credits Broggia (1698-1767) with being one of the originators of a pure theory of taxation. Broggia's principal work, the Treatise on Taxes, Money, and the Policy of Public Health is "a digest of all that was best, not only in the public-finance literature of the eighteenth century but also in most of that of the nineteenth" (Schumpeter, p. 205).
