Ebook: The Economic Policy of Colbert

Batoche Books Kitchener 2004. — 79 p.The Economic Policy of Colbert is the result of work done in connection with the London School of Economics and Political Science. It was originally written for, and obtained, the Whately Prize at Trinity College, Dublin; so that its scope is necessarily limited. No attempt has been made to give a detailed or elaborate treatment of questions already discussed exhaustively by French economists and historians. The book is merely a short study; its object, to give a consistent view of the character and policy of an administrator and practical economist little known to English students; and to indicate the native sources of information to those who may wish to follow up the subject.The Circumstances and the Man
