First 12mo edition.
One of the founding works of physiocracy.
The first three parts were printed in three volumes in-12 jointly with the original in Quarto edition in 1756 in Avignon. This publication will be completed until 1760 and will have up to eight games.
Developed by Mirabeau and Quesnay, the physiocratic doctrine is a mixture of economic liberalism and enlightened despotism where agriculture plays a primordial role.
Physiocratic ideas will dominate the economic debate from the end of the 18th century to theorization of the liberal model of Adam Smith.

We join the fourth part divided into two volumes, published in 1758 without mention of place:
(4) -IV-282Pages / (2)-464 pages

And "Réponse à l'essai sur les ponts et chaussées"
(4)-228-(1) pages.

references: Goldsmith [I, 9093] Tchemerzine-Scheler[IV. 749-750: "Cette première édition in-12 ne contient que trois parties"].

Price : 600 €
