Political and economic liberalism has generally been considered to
be of marginal import in France, but at an intellectual level, it
is a different story. An exploration of the history of French
economic thought shows how a rich intellectual tradition developed
during the nineteenth century, which has been previously neglected
in English language studies of French thinking. In this important
new collection, Robert Leroux brings together key works, both from
widely regarded and lesser known authors, whose thinking
constituted the core of a singular intellectual movement. These
include such figures as Charles Dunoyer, Joseph Garnier, Gustave de
Molinari, Yves Guyot, Alexis de Tocqueville, Benjamin Constant and
Frederic Bastiat. Including several works that have never before
been published in English, this anthology begins with a full
introduction that provides an overview of liberal thought in the
nineteenth century, and each text is preceded by a biographical
note on the author, and an explanation of the wider significance of
the text. This anthology, by bringing to the fore a number of
writers and doctrinal positions, seeks to give a coherence, an
overall cast to French liberalism without exaggerating its unity.
It will be of interest to economists, political scientists,
historians, philosophers and sociologists alike.
