Compass of Society rethinks the French route to a conception of
"commercial society" in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Henry C. Clark finds that the development of market liberalism, far
from being a narrow and abstract ideological episode, was part of a
broad-gauged attempt to address a number of perceived problems
generic to Europe and particular to France during this period. In
the end, he offers a neo-Tocquevillian account of a topic which
Tocqueville himself notoriously underemphasized, namely the
emergence of elements of a modern economy in eighteenth century
France and the place this development had in explaining the failure
of the Old Regime and the onset of the Revolution. Compass of
Society will aid in understanding the conflicted French engagement
with liberalism even up to the twenty-first century.
