Abstract

‘Let it go as it will’, said William Petty. ‘Laissez-nous faire’, said the merchants of Lyons, and the thought that no government is the best government has lived on in the minds of some economists to the present day. It is at that point that the anarchists of the right meet those of the left. In fact the French Physiocrats, although most clamorous in support of the unmitigated sway of natural law, were insistent on the defence of the rights of private property, the owners of which must be defended from the owners of none.
