Note 135 — Chapter VI · THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATE
John M. (John Milton) Gitterman translation
Eisenhardt, Gesch. der National Oekonomie, p. 9: “Aided by the new and more liquid means of payment in cash, it became possible to call into being a new and more independent establishment of soldiers and of officials. As they were paid only periodically it became impossible for them to make themselves independent (as the feudatories had done) and then to turn on their paymaster.”
