Topic: Jean Claude Marie Vincent de Gournay


  
 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The same general line of thought was followed by Marshal de Vauban (1633-1707) in his economic tracts, especially that bearing the title of Projet d'une dixme Royale, 1707, which was suppressed by the authorities, and lost for him the favour of his sovereign, but has added lustre to his name in the judgment of posterity.
The Esprit des Lois (1748), so far as it deals with economic subjects, is written upon the whole from a point of view adverse to the mercantile system, especially in his treatment of money, though in his observations on colonies and elsewhere he falls in with the ideas of that system.
M. de Gournay, as we have seen, was regarded as one of the founders of the school, and appears to have exercised some influence even upon the formation of Quesnay's own opinions.

The members of the group called themselves les conomistes, but it is more convenient, because unambiguous, to designate them by the name physiocrales (Gr.

The heads of the physiocratic school were François Quesnay (1694-1774) and Jean Claude Marie Vincent, sieur de Gournay (1712-1759).
de Gournay, as we have seen, was regarded as one of the founders of the school, and appears to have exercised some influence even upon the formation of Quesnay's own opinions.
Gournay wrote nothing but memois addressed to ministers, which have not seen the light; but we have a full statement of his views in the loge dedicated to his memory by his illustrious friend Turgot.

 Physiocrats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The principles of Physiocracy were first put forward by Richard Cantillon, an Irish banker living in France, in his 1756 publication Essai sur la nature du commerce en géneral (Essay on the Nature of Commerce in General).
The ideas were later developed by thinkers such as François Quesnay and Jean Claude Marie Vincent de Gournay into a more systematic body of thought held by a united group of thinkers.
The Physiocrats saw the true wealth of a nation as determined by the surplus of agricultural production over and above that needed to support agriculture (by feeding farm labourers and so forth).

 Biography of A.R.J. Turgot (1727-1781)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In the history of thought, the style is often the man, and Turgot's clarity and lucidity of style mirrors the virtues of his thought, and contrasts refreshingly to the prolix and turgid prose of the physiocrat school.
Turgot's mentor in economics and in administration was his great friend Jacques Claude Marie Vincent, Marquis de Gournay (1712-1759).
It is fitting, then, that Turgot developed his laissez-faire views most fully in one of this early works, the "Elegy to Gournay" (1759), a tribute offered when the Marquis died young after a long illness.

In a letter of July 1, 1764, the French Baron de Grimm declared: "We are obsessed by the idea of regulation, and our Masters of Requests refuse to understand that there is an infinity of things in a great state with which a government should not concern itself.
The late Jean Claude Marie Vincent de Gournay sometimes used to say: 'We have an illness in France which bids fair to play havoc with us; this illness is called bureaumania.' Sometimes he used to invent a fourth or fifth form of government under the heading of "bureaucracy".

It may not be unimportant to add that the significant silence of Meursius, (an author surely not to be lightly thought of) who in his Miscellanea Laconica says nothing of blood broth at the Phiditia, implies that he understood the passage of Pollux as intended to convey the meaning expressed above.
A query should always be worded with care, and put in a quotable shape.  The observance of this plain rule would economise space, save the time which might otherwise be occupied in useless research, and tend to produce more pertinency of reply.  The first and second of the above queries may serve as models.
