Pierre le Pesant Boisguilbert was considered by Marx as one of the
founders of classical political economy. His writings contain a
large number of concepts and ideas that reappear in the writings of
Quesnay, Cantillon and Adam Smith. George Berkeley - a major figure
in the history of philosophical idealism - was the author of 'The
Querist', a treatise on the nature of Irish under-development and
cures for Irish poverty. Baron de Montesquieu - one of the great
18th century polymaths - is author of the masterpiece 'The Spirit
of the Laws' (1748) which, while ostensibly a treatise on law, is
actually a study of political organization, types of government,
national character and the determining ethos of different
societies. It enjoyed enormous success in the 18th century and was
almost certainly read and studied by Adam Smith. Ferdinando Galiani
was a leading critic of physiocracy and a major 18th century
proponent of the subjective theory of value. In 1751 he published
'Della Moneta' which contains some notable chapters on monetary
theory, and some brilliant pages on the utility theory of value.
James Anderson was a Scottish farmer and a prolific author of
tracts on the agricultural development of Scotland and the
outstanding policy issues of the last quarter of the 18th century.
Dugald Stewart was author of 'Account of the Life and Writings of
Adam Smith LLD' (1793) which is one of the earliest, extended
commentaries on the works of Adam Smith by one who knew him well.
