What was his fiscal policy?

frankly, the republic seems to be an EU-style undemocratic clusterfuck:
>ineffective and non-representative parliament
>aggressive policy towards "separatists" i.e. sovereign peoples
>unelected monarchs dictating policy >unaccountable class of warrior monks that interfere in domestic and foreign policy with its own quasi-governmental apparatus,
i'd vote sith just to fuck with them

Borrowing from who?

The Banking Clan

>After the conflict's resolution(clone wars), the assets of most Separatist corporations were nationalized or given to loyal companies as a reward (e.g.,KDY,SFSor theTagge Company).[7]Then several of Palpatine's influential corporate allies, led by Tagge, convinced the Emperor to expand the Corporate Sector to nearly 30,000 star systems,

banking clan and other non-separatist corps

This, Sheev took apart the non-human separatist corporations as both punishment and as a way to reward his supporters, that's why the Death Star was built by newly enslaved Geonosians. The Techno Union, and the Trade Federation were nationalized after Vader fucking murdered their corporate leadership on Mustafar and other CIS holdout worlds.

100% tax for the poor

0 for the rich

>non-representative
>unelected-monarchs
>vote sith
bru

sheev didn't give a fuck about peopeles wealth, even the rich. He was doing sith shit

>fiscal policy
>taxes

war bonds and the banking clan

Is the trade federation basically a libertarian's wet dream?

Sheevs empire wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the mustache twisting villain tier racism

No, apparently that's what the Corporate Sector Authority was. A government made up of corporate heads that could essentially do whatever they wanted in their own territory as long as they paid the Empire its due and didn't fuck with the empires shit

sounds like the republic was more of a confederacy

In their case they are the ones doing the treading
>I want to get more money out of trading because taxes are fucking me over
>Thus I will hold an entire population at gunpoint and starve them until its authorities and or the main government give me what I want

as an econ major who is a nerd this is a great question that rarely get the attention it needs.

and Thank you, that has been a question bugging me for a long time and nobody could give a decent answer.

But taking direct control of them through nationalization rather then just having strong manipulative influence sound like him and he could cut a fraction of the spoils to reward loyalty to further grow his power.

That would also mean that he would have to establish a tremendously huge bureaucracy to attempt to control it. It is obviously easier to let them do what they wanted in their own territory and just have them pay taxes. If they step out of line you just go in and slap their shit around for awhile until they get their act together.

>Republic borrows money from the Banking clan
>The same Banking clan that is part of the CIS
What the fuck?

c'mon, user, you should know by now the banking clan doesn't serve any one nation but their own

The republic and the Empire are two separate governments. Also, yeah, the (((banking clans))) are shady as shit and always play both sides.

the Empire didn't give a fuck though. Part of the problem in the first starwars was all the planetary systems were having to defend themselves (for the first time in forever) from exactly that happening.

test

It's almost like Sheev was playing both sides

Lots of military spending and investment in colonizing less explored regions in the galaxy.

I was talking about the Republic spending during the Clone Wars. Nevertheless both you and are right, with the (((Muuns))) you loose, their planet should have been reduced to ashes with artillery fire during the war.

Yes, but Sheev as a Chancellor was the one borrowing the money, not Sheev as a mastermind or Sidious. One would think that at least the Senate would have concerns about dealing with them, let alone the bank would find suspicious that their enemies wanted to make a loan with them, then again Republic shekels are still shekels.

The Banking Clan tries to play both sides during the Clone Wars, gets caught by the Republic, and then Palpatine uses the scandal to essentially nationalize the previously Muun-held assets of the Banking Clan. It's basically a Republic financial instrument by the Revenge of the Sith, and that continues on into the Imperial period.

he was too cheap to give poor vader a decent suit

Based. I would happily follow sheev than subversive (((jedi)))

I think he didn't have a choice, I mean be murdered all of their leaders. Why risk them undermining his regime?

The master must always get the apprentice under power least he threw him down a energy reactor

if I remember correctly they just had higher interest rates then the separatists, there's a whole clone wars arc about this in season 6 id recommend it

Vader made his own suit.

Pay or blow

As time grew that is what he did as he delegated more and more functions to bureaucracy, after just killing off most bureaucracy of the republic during his take over and consolidation of power.

Later on one of his generals talked about how beneficial it was to have the locals manage themselves, while they just held the death star and a large army to fix any problems that pop up.

Which annoyed me as they technically stopped being an empire right as the first death star was coming online. And personal freedoms and financial independence were slowly growing under him in the later years.

It was so gradual and sustained that I sometimes wonder if the whole conquer the galaxy was just a super long restructuring plan to benefit everyone for eons more once it became self regulating under his setup. Being the ultimate retirement plan as he could retire in a peaceful and happy galaxy in just a few hundred years as things were going, and also look back with joy and fulfillment at the work he had done.
