The Foundations of 'Laissez-Faire' - The Economics of Pierre de Boisguilbert (Hardcover)

At the end of the 17th centrury a new theoretical approach in economics emerged through the writings of Pierre de Boisguilbert (1646-1714). Biosguilbert's work, a landmark in the establishment and development of liberal economics, not only develops the theoretical foundations of laissez-faire, it also constitutes a substantial analysis of the behaviour of economic agents in the generation of prosperity and depression. This is a full-length study of Boisguilbert's work. It contains an extended discussion of the context in which Boisguilbert worked, as well as a detailed analysis of his life and work.
