With a few exceptions, historiography has paid little attention to
the impact of French economic thought during the American
Revolution, focusing instead on the Revolution's links with
Britain. This book outlines how, from the mid-eighteenth to the
early-nineteenth century, the political and social dimension of
French economic thought, and particularly of Physiocracy, spurred
American Republicans to a radical shaping of American agrarian
ideology. Such a perspective allows for a reconsideration of
several questions that lie at the heart of contemporary
historiographic debate: the connection between politics and
economics; the meaning of republicanism; the foundations of
representation; the role of Europe in the Atlantic world; and the
interaction between national histories and global context. In
particular, the research methodology adopted here makes it possible
to reconstruct how American national identity, conceived as an
expression of society in economic terms, emerged through a
cosmopolitan way of thinking focused on the uniqueness of the new
state.
