The common understanding of physiocracy - the school of
eighteenth-century political economy associated with thinkers such
as Boisguillebert and Quesnay - is often confined to the view that
it considered agriculture the only source of wealth, and
manufacture, trade and export as unproductive. The limitations of
this view are particularly acute for those wishing to chart the
ancien regime as it approached 1789. First published in 1939, this
study attempts to answer such questions as: What is the meaning of
physiocracy? What is the provenance of its various doctrines? What
were its ultimate intentions? For many it is unclear how the
physiocrats could expound such views against all the arguments
employed by their opponents: particularly so given that, among
them, were men revered by the likes of Adam Smith, either as
profound thinkers, such as Quesnay, or as statesmen, such as
Turgot.
