	Richard Cantillon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Cantillon (1680-1734) was an important figure in the Physiocrat school of economics, and was influential for the development of the classical economists.
		Cantillon is acknowledged as a precursor of the Austrian school of economic thought.
		Cantillon was born in the town of Ballyheigue, County Kerry, Ireland, lived a considerable portion of his life in France, and died in London.

	Biography of Richard Cantillon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cantillon acknowledges that the large estates were taken by force, reflecting the fact that his ancestors took ownership of the land from the Irish and that these estates were in turn taken from them by force.
		Cantillon's conception of cost as the sacrifice of land and labor fore- gone is far more advanced than the land theory of cost and value advanced by the Physiocrats, or the labor theory of cost and value advanced by the classical economists.
		Cantillon clearly saw that when a landlord chose to own more horses, what he was giving up was the production (and sale) of grain, and that if France wished to import fine lace, then she would have to forego a large amount of wine produced from her vineyards.

	Richard Cantillon / Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cantillon, acknowledged by many historians as the first great economic "theorist", is an obscure character.
		Cantillon was one of the first to recognize the circular flow of income and set the foundations both for Physiocracy as well as Classical Political Economy.
		Cantillon was also one of the first (and among the clearest) articulators of the Quantity Theory of Money and attempted to provide much of the reasoning behind it.

	Hayek, Richard Cantillon: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Cantillon married, apparently in London, in 1722 (the deeds of marriage there are dated February 16, 1722) Mary Anne Mahony, the daughter of Daniel Mahony (or O'Mahony, which led the French to write Ommani), a rich Irish merchant from Paris, from his marriage with the widowed Lady Clare, née Charlotte Bulkeley.
		Cantillon himself was the partner of limited liability; he supplied the entire capital and was entitled to two-thirds of the profits, the other third going to Hughes, more or less in his capacity as manager.
		Cantillon adopted the standpoint, as he later explained, that the shares had not been lodged by serial number with him and were not a deposit in the strict sense but rather an undifferentiated lodgment and hence that no client had a claim to specific shares.

	Richard CANTILLON
		Cantillon's entire reputation rests on his one remarkable treatise, Essai Sur la Nature du Commerce en Général was written in French circa 1732 and published anonymously in England some twenty years after his death (some claim it was only a French translation of a lost English original).
		Cantillon was perhaps the first to define long-run equilibrium as the balance of flows of income, thus setting the foundations both for Physiocracy as well as Classical Political Economy.
		Cantillon's careful description of a supply-and-demand mechanism for the determination of short-run market price (albeit not long-run natural price) also stand him as a progenitor of the Marginalist Revolution.

		After the debacle ended, Cantillon returned to Paris, although he was not at all appreciated by the bankrupt speculators whose folly and greed had allowed him to fill his purse at their expense.
		Cantillon's contribution to modern economics was an early application of economic abstraction, what Austrian economists would call "economic reasoning." Cantillon saw human action as a key variable in economic equations.
		Cantillon said that the entrepreneur and capitalist--by taking risks in pursuit of gains, by investing resources in the future, and by successfully forecasting trends--facilitate the adjustment and balance of supply and demand in various markets.

	George Berkeley and Richard Cantillon:
		Cantillon thought that a favorable balance of trade was necessary for a nation to grow, but was also concerned with the nature of the material traded and its long term effects.
		Cantillon was also careful to note that there was only a small window of opportunity during which this type of corrective action could take place, as within a few years poverty could overcome the strongest nation.
		Cantillon argued that “If enough employment cannot be found to occupy the 25 persons in a hundred upon work useful and profitable to the state, I see no objection to encouraging employment which serves only for ornament or amusement.

	Richard Cantillon's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cantillon's setting was the first great breakthrough in economic theory - for it provided the fundamental structural idea behind the concept of an "economy" which was to possess all subsequent economics - Physiocratic, Classical and Neoclassical.
		As such, Cantillon foresaw there would be a "circular flow of income and expenditure" between landlords and laborers, the former contributing their land and receiving rents which they subsequently spent on luxuries, the latter contributing their labor and receiving wages and spending those on necessities.
		Cantillon's idea that "flows of income" were the proper subject of economic analysis was already a path-breaking insight, as it tore away from the Mercantilist obsession with the "stock of wealth".

		Richard Cantillon, who wrote fifty years before Adam Smith, was the first economist to see the economy as an interrelated whole and the first to give a coherent account of how it works.
		Mercantilism has been regarded as irrational since the attacks of Smith, yet Cantillon's views are shown to be a logical consequence of his pioneering analysis of the workings of the international economic system.
		The second part of the book sets Cantillon in the context of the development of economic thought in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and shows that he took less from his predecessors than has been thought, and gave more to his successors than they were willing to admit.

		Cantillon gave an entrepreneur a co-ordinating role in which he searches for the equilibrium of demand and supply and sells products/services for the best possible price.
		Owning and entrepreneurship were two separate things to Cantillon, although he advocated the idea that an entrepreneur can also be an owner and/or a consumer.

	THE INTERTEMPORAL ADAM SMITH
		Cantillon was concerned with the allocation of resources among nations during a given period of time; Smith was concerned with the allocation of resources among periods of time for a given nation.
		The distinction between the two uses of labor is significant as a manifestation (probably the most pronounced manifestation) of Smith's bias against the present and in favor of the future.
		Had Richard Cantillon or Francois Quesnay, rather than Adam Smith, achieved the status of the Father of Economics, Friedman may well have announced the third goals as a favorable balance of trade or as a prosperous agriculture sector.

	Cantillon's System
		General equilibrium theory, indeed much of economics itself, owes its existence to an Irishman who lived obscurely in 18th Century France by the name of Richard Cantillon.
		If the economic system is to achieve this natural state, Cantillon reasoned, there there must be some mechanism to maintain the balance of income flows.
		We have reduced labor to land and thus we have a "land theory of value" - which Cantillon announced with his opening sentence: "The land is the source or matter from whence all wealth is produced." (Cantillon, 1755: p.2).

	Mises Economics Blog: Was Richard Cantillon a Mercantilist?
		In contrast to the widely held perspective that Cantillon was a mercantilist, evidence is presented that indicates that such a categorization is not scientifically valid.
		He generally did not advocate or endorse mercantilist economic policies and was sharply critical of the mercantilist policies that he did write about.
		Even when Cantillon seemed to agree with mercantilist objectives in such areas as international trade and money, there is sharp divergence in analysis and rationale between Cantillon and his self-described opponents—the English mercantilists.

		Here, it is shown that Richard Cantillon, the father of economic theory and method, developed and applied the concept of opportunity cost.
		His "intrinsic value" was not an objective cost approach, but merely an attempt to estimate opportunity cost.
		This finding exonerates Cantillon from the charge of objective cost theorist and predates the discovery of opportunity cost one hundred and forty years earlier.
