Synopsis

This book chronicles the historical evolution of ship subsidies in maritime nations. It traces their roots to as early as the ninth century, and their proliferation across Europe throughout the 1600s and the 1800s. The author provides a comprehensive overview of these policies across multiple countries, and discusses the impact on domestic shipbuilding industries, international trade, and even naval capabilities. A fascinating account of government intervention in maritime commerce, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the historical development of trade and industry.
