An Inquiry into Physiocracy (Routledge Revivals)

by Max Beer

Book Overview

The common understanding of physiocracy - the school of eighteenth-century political economy associated with thinkers such as Boisguillebert and Quesnay - is often confined to the view that it considered agriculture the only source of wealth, and manufacture, trade and export as unproductive. The limitations of this view are particularly acute for those wishing to chart the ancien r gime as it approached 1789.
