BOOK PROJECT

Why did England and Prussia start replacing amateur officeholders with professional bureaucrats before 1789 while France and Spain did not? I tackle this question in my first book project: The Protestant Road to State Bureaucracy. The book documents with historical microdata how the Protestant Reformation promoted the development of  administrative conditions that facilitated bureaucratic reforms.
