“…Under the ancient regime, the laws of the Church guaranteed 90 days of rest, 52 Sundays and 38 holidays, during which it was strictly prohibited to work (Lafarge, 1883/2020). Building on Rogers (2013), Bennett (1937) and others, Schor (1993) estimates that medieval peasants enjoyed anywhere from 8 weeks to half the year off, and a relaxed tempo of life and work.

a b s t r a c tThis paper contributes to the literature on private law enforcement by proposing a novel solution to the problem of underenforcement by monopolistic enforcers. Monopolistic enforcers underinvest in enforcement because they ignore the social benefits of deterrence. We show that this problem can be partially resolved by combining law enforcement with tax collection because a joint enforcer-collector will have an interest in reducing the crime rate in order to maximize his tax income. In support of the theory, we discuss two historical examples of this practice: decentralized law enforcement under European feudalism, and centralized law enforcement in the Ottoman Empire.
