		Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de Laune, often referred to as Turgot (May 10, 1727 — March 18, 1781), was a French statesman and economist.
		Turgot owed his appointment to the ministry to Maurepas[?], the "Mentor" of Louis XVI, to whom he was warmly recommended by the abbe Very, a mutual friend.
		Turgot was hated by those who had been interested in the speculations in corn under the regime of the abbe Terray —among whom were included some of the princes of the blood.

	Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, baron de Laune - LoveToKnow 1911
		ANNE ROBERT JACQUES TURGOT, BARON DE LAUNE (1727-1781), French statesman and economist, was born in Paris on the 10th of May 1727.
		Turgot at once set to work to establish free trade in corn, but his edict, which was signed on the 13th of September 1774, met with strong opposition even in the conseil du roi.
		Turgot's only choice, however, was between "tinkering" at the existing system in detail and a complete revolution, and his attack on privilege, which might have been carried through by a popular minister and a strong king, was bound to form part of any effective scheme of reform.
