abstract: The recent financial crisis has highlighted conflicts of interests between socio-economic
groups over economic policy. We use representations of economies as systems of
interdependencies among productive sectors to conceptualize economic and political
cleavages in terms of the contingent interplay of economic interdependencies between
sectors and political conflict between the groups that represent those sectors. In doing so,
we propose a structural and historical approach, which is illustrated with reference to
three moments in the evolution of the eighteenth-century British fiscal system. Each of
these case studies (the Beer Taxes of the 1690s, the Excise Crisis of 1733, and the
Income Taxes of the Napoleonic Wars) reveals a different dimension of our approach.
We close with some reflections on the conditions under which political conflict may be
sustainable and provide directions for further inquiry.
