First edition.
Following the establishment of the Portuguese court in Brazil (1808) and the opening of ports to foreigners, an immense country opened up to international trade.
Brazil then aroused the interest of French economists who saw it as a testing ground for liberal ideas.
Horace Say predicted an upcoming economic boom in Brazil and drew from it an economic model for the future French colonial empire which then began to develop.

CABET, Etienne.
Histoire populaire de la Révolution française.
Paris, Pagnerre, 1839-1840.
More Details >
Sold
First edition.
Etienne Cabet is a French political thinker who was the first, in 1840, to define himself as a “communist”.
His history of the French Revolution is conceived in opposition to the history given by Tiers, which Cabet considers a bourgeois view of the Revolution.
Cabet tells its story from the point of view of the People and for the People. He offers a version that could be described as Marxist before Marx.
The first half of the first volume is devoted to the History of the French until 1789, a work which is reminiscent, a hundred years in advance, of Howard Zinn and his Popular History of the United States.

COURNOT, Augustin.
Recherches sur les principes mathématiques de la théorie des richesses.
Paris, L. Hachette, 1838.
More Details >
12500 €
First edition.
Landmark in economic theory.
Cournot is considered a pioneer in mathematical economics. He was among the first to formalize economic theories using mathematical equations.
He proposed basing economic theory not on elementary algebra but on the branch of analysis dealing with arbitrary functions, subject to certain conditions.
His work focused on a theory of price equilibrium in a free market.
Though largely ignored in his time, his research on equilibria between two producers, now known as "Cournot equilibria," would later be generalized under the term "Nash equilibria" or "Nash-Cournot equilibria," earning John Forbes Nash the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.
Cournot's work is bound after the following:

Fourteen pieces by two prominent members of Fourierist circles: François Barrier and Jean Journet.
The set was probably assembled by François Barrier. Two presentation copie. one from Barrier to his mother and one from Jean Journet to Barrier.
François Barrier (1813-1870), a doctor in Lyon, converted to Fourierism in the early 1840s. He played a very important role in the founding of a societarian colony in Saint-Denis du Sig, Algeria. He was part of the organizing committee that set the project in motion and was one of the administrators of the society of the Agricultural Union of Africa. He was the main driving force and financial supporter of the Ecole sociétaire de Lyon in the 1850s. He created a "Fourierist" bank that notably financed the Texas phalanstery. In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to go to Paris and reorganize the Ecole sociétaire, run the societarian bookstore and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.
- [BARRIER], Examen et Réfutation du Discours de M. Massot, Lyon, Dorier, 1846 62 pages. First edition. Work in which Barrier defends the societary doctrine.
- Commemorative banquet of the birth of Ch. Fourier, Given in Lyon on April 7, 1846 (2 bl.) - 16 pages. First edition. The Fourierists, after the death of Charles Fourier in 1837, adopted the practice of Republican Banquets and met each year to celebrate the anniversary of his birth (April 7, 1772) with a banquet. In Paris, in the provinces, abroad, many banquets were thus organized, during which the speakers took turns to praise the social theories of the master and to make many toasts. Here a handwritten note (p.9) attributes one of the "toasts" to François Barrier. - BARRIER, De L'Hygiène dans ses rapports avec l'état social, (March 15, 1845) 15 pages. Article taken from the Revue sociale, a socialist review from Lyon.
- BARRIER, De L'Hygiène dans ses rapports avec l'état social, (15 mars 1845). 15 pages.
pappers from the Revue sociale, socialist review of Lyon.
- BARRIER, Sketch of an analogy of Man and Humanity, Lyon, Librairie sociétaire, 1846. 48 pages. First edition. Handwritten dedication from François Barrier to his mother on the half-title page. Work that exegetes certain points of Fourierist doctrine.
- The Agricultural Union of... Civil joint-stock company for the exploitation of a rural property in Africa, Lyon, Boitel, [1845]. 16 pages. First edition. Work of the organizing committee of which François Barrier was a member, from its formation until October 25, 1845. The end of the document gives the model of the power of attorney to be sent to subscribers for the founding of the company.
- Draft Statutes of a civil company, for the exploitation of a rural property in Algeria, Lyon, Dumoulin, 1845. 23-(1) pages First edition. One of the first documents relating to the Union. He presents the draft statutes of the society before its foundation, which would not take place until the end of 1845. The document also presents the members of the organizing committee (including François Barrier) and the list of the first subscribers.
- [BARRIER], The Agricultural Union of Africa, new system of colonization of Algeria, Lyon, Au Siège de la Société, 1846. viii-136-(2bl.) pages and 2 folding plates. First edition. Work in which François Barrier presents the phalansterian project of the Agricultural Union of Africa. In 1846, if the civil society leading the Union had been created, it had not yet obtained a concession from Louis Philippe. The Fourierists' project came at a time when the French State, after having conquered Algeria, was asking itself the question of a settlement colonization to make its military expenditure profitable.
Works of Jean Journet:
Jean Journet (1799-1861) defined himself as a Fourierist apostle. He traveled through France, Belgium, and also Texas to spread the good word of Charles Fourier. A friend of the painter Gustave Courbet, he was immortalized in a painting entitled "The Apostle Jean Journet leaving for the conquest of universal harmony" in 1850. An eccentric character, he aroused the anger of the Fourierists who, like Victor Considérant, wanted to normalize the movement. He had books and brochures printed at his own expense, from 1840 until his death in 1861, imbued with mysticism, apostolic lyricism, and extravagance. Lacking sales in bookstores, Journet became a street vendor of his works. There, he begged for his bread and took on the shaggy appearance of an enlightened preacher.
- JOURNET, Cri d'indignation, complainte humanitaire, Paris, Charpentier, September 1846. 16 pages. First edition. Long poem whose incipit is addressed to the "lazy", the "gangrenous disciples" who indulge in a "voluptuous drowsiness" while waiting for Harmony.
- JOURNET, Cri de Délivrance. Intronisation du règne harmonien sur le globe, Paris, Charpentier, November 1846. 16-(2) pages. Sent by the author to François Barrier. First edition. Journet opens a subscription for the creation of a Phalanstère d'enfants, one of his major projects. At the top of the list of subscribers is Alexandre Dumas, to whom Journet dedicates a poem.
- JOURNET, Résurrection sociale. Félicité universelle, cri de Détresse, Paris, Chez The author, June 1849. 16 pages. First edition. Text that encourages Fourier's disciples to get moving and practically realize a phalanstery. Note that the price of the brochure, indicated on the title, is 5fr. for the rich, 1fr. for the well-off and 15 centimes in shops.
- [JOURNET], To the founders of Universal Harmony, the grateful human race, [1850] 16 pages. Second edition. Subscribers and statutes of the Society of Active Fraternity, an "experimental association" that provides for the installation of a "swarm of devoted men, the seed of a future harmonious phalanx", placed "one to five leagues from the capital", with initially 18 to 25 households. But Journet's project does not seem to have gone any further.
- JOURNET, Socialism Unmasked: Cry of Pity, The False Prophets, Paris, Chez tous les marchands, June 1850. 16 pages. Original edition. Long poem in the form of a diatribe against Proudhon. It opens with this stanza: "Proudhon, Proudhon, It is a song That will make sense Of your jargon."
- JOURNET, Socialism Unmasked: Cry of Alarm, The Promised Land, Paris, Chez tous les marchands, July 1850. 16 pages. Original edition. Poem whose target is undoubtedly Emile de Girardin, who supported the party of Louis Napoléon Bonaparte under the Second Republic.
- JOURNET, The Year of Salvation or the solution of solutions, by a madman, a beggar, an apostle, Paris, Chez tous les marchands de nouveautés, February 1851. 16 pages. Original edition. Journet still feels alone among the Fourierists in wanting the practical advent of Charles Fourier's utopia. One also senses the disappointment of the hope raised by the Republic of 1848, while the idea of a Second Empire gradually makes its way.

VIGOUREUX, Clarisse.
Parole de Providence.
Paris, Bossange, Novembre 1834.

3500 €
Scarce first edition of the only work by the first female disciple of Charles Fourier.
Clarisse Vigoureux (1789-1865), born Charlotte-Dorothée-Claire Gauthier, was a fervent follower of Fourier's theories: it was she who introduced Victor Considerant to Fourierism (the latter married his daughter Julie).
She put her personal fortune at the service of the Fourierist cause by financing Phalanges (the journal of Charles Fourier) and later the exile of Considerant and then their attempt to found the Réunion phalanstery in Texas. Ruined, she will end her life alone in San Antonio.
François Barrier, central personality of the Fourierist movement, he adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1843. He was, in 1845, one of the founders of the African Agricultural Union and became the main leader and financial supporter from the Lyon Corporate School in the 1860s.
His work responded to the Words of a Believer, published in April 1834 by Lamennais, in which he promoted violence in the service of the class struggle. Clarisse Vigoureux, deeply pacifist and feminist, will answer him:
"What is this war cry and this reverberation which has been heard on all sides? [...] I ask the stronger sex who knows how to dethrone their kings, and who, calling himself a king, does not know how to hold the reins of the world" (excerpt from the preface)
This book will be condemned by the Roman Church and put in the Index catalog on September 22, 1836.
On the false title we see. finds the following mention written in pencil : "Given by Miss Beuque to Mr Barrier. (April 1845). Aimée Beuque (1788-1871) met Charles Fourier at Clarisse Vigoureux in 1828 and immediately adhered to his ideas, she will lead the Fourierist circles of Lyon. François Barrier, professor of medicine at the Faculty of Lyon, adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1844.

Colonie Sociétaire de Condé-Sur-Vesgre.
Paris, Au Bureau de la réforme industrielle, 1832.
More Details >
850 €
First edition.
Rare document on the creation of the colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre.
The societary colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre was the first Fourierist achievement and the only one in which Fourier participated. The initiative was launched in the second half of 1832 by Alexandre Baudet-Dulary with the support of the Fourierist newspaper "Le Phalanstère" which would relay the calls for funds.
Our publication presents the project for the creation of the society that would manage the colony. It presents the statutes of the future society and an approximate estimate of the expenses. The designated managers are Devay, Just Muiron, Victor Considérant, and A. Transon. The role assigned to Charles Fourier is "director of the societary mechanism".
This society will be created during the year 1833 with the installation of the first settlers on the site of Condé-sur-Vesgre. The colony, after many difficulties, is still in activity almost two hundred years later.

Work whose collection title is "Saint-Simonian Religion", a curious quasi-sectarian economic movement led by Prosper Enfantin, under the honorary title of Supreme Father. This ideological movement, originally based on the socio-economic and political doctrine of Claude-Henri de Rouvroy de Saint-Simon, promotes confidence in technical progress, the certainty that it is in a moral industry that the condition of happiness, freedom and emancipation resides. Under the influence of Prosper Enfantin, the movement becomes a religion, with some attempts at communities.
