Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the landscape of privilege, exemption, and inequality in pre-Revolutionary France. It examines the distribution of public offices and limited resources across the three traditional social classes: the clergy, the nobility, and the Third Estate. The author argues that while the Third Estate was formally responsible for aspects of governance, the aristocracy largely monopolized the military and church, amassing wealth from these positions while also benefiting from tax exemptions. Moreover, many members of the bourgeoisie found opportunities for financial enrichment in royal offices and tax collection enterprises. This book offers a valuable perspective on the social and economic dynamics of ancien rà gime France, highlighting the ways in which privilege and inequality contributed to the revolutionary upheaval of 1789.
