DESCRIPTION:This seminar brings together several lines of research on the 
 political economy of the salt tax (gabelle) in early modern France. First\
 , we present a new parish-level GIS reconstructing the spatial organizatio
 n of the gabelle based on a 1665 map collection. Second\, we quantify the 
 extent of tax evasion\, finding that half of salt sales were evaded in the
  most affected districts\, and study the consequences for the state. Third
 \, we analyze the political costs of tax enforcement\, showing that effort
 s to curb salt smuggling generated a substantial increase in conflicts bet
 ween taxpayers and the state.\n\nJoin us on Zoom:\nhttps://cam-ac-uk.zoom.
