This book provides substantial background on what Adam Smith did
during his stay in Toulouse and the Languedoc region of France
during the 18th century. This is a crucial period in Smith's life
for at least two reasons: i) it is during this time that Smith
began to work on The Wealth of Nations; and ii) it is generally
understood that although some of his ideas about political economy
were already formed before his trip, his encounters with many
French political economists during his time in France helped him to
further develop them. As such, this book provides a rich resource
to further understanding Smith's world, his travel experiences and
the people he met during this time and situates these within the
broader context of Smith's life as a whole, and within the British
aristocracy. This work will be of value to students and researchers
in the history of economic thought, travel studies and Scottish
studies.
