• W2275686870 abstract "This paper investigates the origins and drivers of fiscal institutions by studying the history of finance ministries. Going much further than just the 20th century predecessors of today’s budgetary organisations, it studies the development of finance ministries as controllers of executive spending from their origins as medieval household treasuries – using the history of Britain and Germany in particular. The paper develops an evolutionary account and argues that for most of their early history, external pressures drove the institutional form of finance ministries. It was the need for states to survive interstate competition and war that set up treasuries as collectors of funds and guardians of spending discipline. Throughout the early modern period, states that fared well in interstate competition successfully developed strong early finance ministries that were able to keep spending in check. They grew to be that way in parallel with legislative accountability, like in England/Britain, or driven by a powerful absolutist regime, like in Prussia/Germany. I argue that many of the elements of 20th century spending control, like internal and external audit, predictive, balanced and reasonably comprehensive budgets, top-down control and ex-ante authorisation of spending, all originated in this era, and in many instances where already well established by the time a formal budget process in the modern sense came into being. The dramatic transformation of public spending in the century before ca. 1950 - a rise in the complexity of spending, a much larger budget as a proportion of the economy, as well as the relegation of military spending to one priority among many - did not initially challenge the mode of budgeting and the control regime run by finance ministries. During the post - war generation that ended with the oil crises of the 1970s, there was no need for change, because sustained growth enabled budget officials to focus on the equitable distribution of relatively plentiful increments that became available each year. Only the oil crises of the 1970s and the following protracted period of austerity in the OECD provided a sustained and fundamental challenge to the way executive government handles public funds. In some ways, central budget institutions have been in perpetual crisis ever since." @default.
