- W2507066207 abstract "In August 1786, Calonne presented Louis XVI with a major reform programme that, he maintained, was the only way to solve the monarchy's increasing financial difficulties. In its essentials, this plan was very similar to that adopted by the comite des finances in February 1783. In the spirit of the comite's earlier views on the reform of direct taxation, Calonne proposed to abolish the vingtiemes and replace them by a single universal land tax, payable on all property without exceptions or privileges. In the area of indirect taxation, too, Calonne's proposed abolition of internal customs barriers took up Vergennes' and d'Ormesson's preoccupations of three years earlier. Finally, the timing of Calonne's plan was significant: he was attempting to use the imminent expiry of the 3rd vingtieme as an opportunity for introducing wide-ranging reform, much as d'Ormesson had tried to do three years earlier. There was, however, one important difference between Calonne's programme and that of the comite des finances . Calonne was bitterly unpopular with the senior magistrates and knew that his proposals had no chance of success if they were submitted to the parlement of Paris. He therefore recommended to the king the convocation of a nominated assembly of notables as a means of circumventing the inevitable hostility of the sovereign courts. There was, in fact, a clear link between this radical decision and Calonne's final realisation of the impossibility of dealing with the parlements . It is probable that Calonne only took it after the failure of a final attempt to dislodge d'Aligre in mid-1786." @default.
