Abstract

The introductory outline presented Pierre le Pesant, Sieur de Boisguilbert, as the most interesting author in a group of economists who worked in France in the last years of the seventeenth century and the first decades of the eighteenth. Vauban, John Law, a Scotsman, and Boisguilbert investigated the French economy at the turn of the century to discover solutions to its many economic problems.
