In the aftermath of the French Revolution, advocates of protection
against foreign competition prevailed in a fierce controversy over
international trade. This groundbreaking study is the first to
examine this 'protectionist turn' in full. Faced with a
reaffirmation of mercantile jealousy under the Bourbon Restoration,
Benjamin Constant, Jean-Baptiste Say and regional publicists
advocated the adoption of the liberty of commerce in order to
consolidate the new liberal order. But after the Revolution of 1830
a new generation of liberal thinkers endeavoured to reconcile the
jealousy of trade with the discourse of commercial society and
political liberty. New justifications for protection oscillated
between an industrialist reinvention of jealousy and an aspiration
to self-sufficiency as a means of attenuating the rise of urban
pauperism. A strident denunciation of British power and social
imbalances served to defuse the internal tensions of the
protectionist discourse and facilitated its dissemination across
the French political spectrum.
