  Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de Laune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, never afraid to say "LOL".
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.
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.
