The article deals with the development of Catholic thought on public finance over thenineteenth century. Before 1848, fiscal justice had been the focus of interest, being an element of a reformist programme to be implemented in the Italian states and especially inRome. Here the relevant authors are Rosmini, Morichini, and, with reference to his earlywritings only, Taparelli d'Azeglio. But from its inception in 1850 the chief theme of thejournal Civiltà cattolica was the rapacity of liberal governments. A comparison was regularlydrawn between existing liberal states - first Piedmont and then Italy - and an idealmodel of Catholic state. The former exacted exorbitant taxes on citizens because of theirinherent contradictions, whereas in the latter taxes were much lighter as a consequenceof rulers' unsalaried work, a decentralized administration, and financial support fromprivate charities. The review's polemic rested on Taparelli's comprehensive theoreticalanalysis, within which a novel vision of public finance resulted from an original appraisalof politics and society.
