In short, the financial revolution of the modern world was built on a political order – which anteceded a full transition to universal democracy – in which the creditors formed the political class. That model was transferred to many other countries, and became the bedrock on which modern financial stability was built.
简言之，近代世界的财政革命依托于一种政治秩序——债权人构成政治阶级，这种秩序是后来普遍民主制的先声。那种模式传播到许多国家，成为近代财政稳健的基石。
