Synopsis

Uncover a sharp 18th‑century argument about taxes, trusteeship, and how surpluses are used.

This polemic scrutinizes how money from the Malt Tax and other funds was allocated in Scotland after the Union, and questions who really benefits from public spending. It contrasts official plans with the lived impact on citizens and industries.

In clear, plain language, the book traces the debates around funding fisheries, weaving, and other manufactures. It shows how plans were devised, who managed the funds, and why critics say the resulting benefits fall short of the promised national good.

• Learn how the Malt Tax surplus is argued to be owned by the people, and what that means for public finance.
• See how plans to support Scottish industry were developed and contested.
• Understand the role of trustees and government plans in shaping economic policy.
• Explore the tension between national goals and private interests in 18th‑century governance.

Ideal for readers interested in economic history, political reform, and early debates over public money and accountability.
