  • Parliament and Public Credit in Edmund Burke’s Present Discontents

抄録

This paper aims to understand the relation of public credit and political power in Edmund Burke’s political thought, which chiefly appeared in his famous early work, Present Discontents（ 1770）. For it, at first I try to compare the theories of Burke and Lord Bolingbroke. One of the differences in them is the estimate of civil list and public credit. Burke was in positive, but Bolingbroke was in negative for he thought it constitutes the cause of absolute monarchy. But Burke was critical not in civil list and public credit, but in sinking fund. However, this point itself was not original in Burke’s theory. We can find a similar critic in the contemporary economic writer, Malachy Postlethwayt. Analyzing both logics, in this paper I try to clarify that Burke thought the sinking fund problem is the crisis of Parliamentary power against the King and Cabinet and also the crisis of division of Parliament and the people.
