Product Description

This book provides a new interpretation of political thought and political economy in France from the death of Louis XVI to the July revolution of 1830. The clash between modern republicanism and other theories of governing societies is the background to a thorough interpretation of the life and writings of Jean-Baptiste Say, the most famous political economist of the post-revolutionary era.
