	TURGOT ON PROGRESS AND POLITICAL ECONOMY
		Turgot employs a stadial or evolutionary theory of development in which society naturally progresses, evolving in a sequence of regular stages, the last of which is the contemporary commercial world of capitalism.
		Turgot explains the importance of a "social surplus" as the means by which advances of one stage of progress to the next were made possible.
		Turgot was interested in the contexts and factors of society that enabled genius to develop and in the distribution in time and place of such creative individuals.

	Turgot, Annotated Bibliography, by David Hart: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Turgot was born in Paris on May 10, 1727 and died in Paris on March 20, 1781.
		Turgot had two opportunities to put free market reforms into practice: on a local scale when he was appointed Intendant of Limoges in 1761-74; and on a national level when the new king Louis XVI made him Minister of Finances between 1774-76.
		Turgot tried to bring an end to official corruption and to military requisitioning, to abolish many local monopolies, to introduce banking and taxation reforms, and to return to internal free trade in grain.

	A.R.J. Turgot
		Turgot can be said to have formed a distinct school of his own, counting the Abbé Morellet and the Marquis de Condorcet as close friends and disciples.
		Turgot argued that human societies pass through cycles of barbarism and civilization, the former attended by superstition, the latter the fruits of reason.
		Before departing, Turgot presciently warned Louis XVI, "Do not forget, Sire, that it was feebleness that placed the head of Charles II on the block." Condorcet (then at the royal mint) attempted to resign in protest.

		Turgot's proposals were accepted by the King, but the parliament refused their registration, and a lit de justice was needed to compel their submission.
		Some speak of a plot, of forged letters containing attacks on the queen shown to the king as Turgot's, of a series of notes on Turgot's budget prepared, it is said, by Necker, and shown to the king to prove his incapacity.
		Others attribute it to the queen, and there is no doubt that she hated Turgot for supporting Vergennes in demanding the recall of the comte de Guines, the ambassador in London, whose cause she had ardently espoused at the prompting of the Choiseul clique.

	Turgot, Anne Robert Jacques. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		He advocated the free-trade and free-competition principles of Vincent de Gournay and was a disciple of the physiocrats.
		Although his reforms were on a modest scale and encountered much local prejudice, he was acclaimed for them, particularly by the philosophes, whom Turgot joined in writing the Encyclopédie.
		Subsequent events vindicated Turgot’s conviction—expressed as early as 1750—that the only alternative to radical reform was still more radical revolution.

	Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Turgot recognized the function of the division of labor, investigated how prices were determined, and analyzed the origins of economic growth.
		Probably Turgot's most important contribution to economics was to point out that capital was necessary for economic growth, and that the only way to accumulate capital was for people not to consume all they had produced.
		Turgot applied many of his laissez-faire economic beliefs during his thirteen-year appointment as chief administrator for the Limoges district (1761-74) under Louis XV and as minister of finance, trade, and public works from 1774 to 1776 under newly anointed Louis XVI.

	Biography of A.R.J. Turgot (1727-1781)
		Turgot claimed that taxes on towns were shifted backward to agriculture, and showed how taxation crippled commerce, distorted the location of towns, and led to the illegal evasion of duties.
		Turgot then changes the conditions of his example, and supposes that the two goods are corn and wood, and that each commodity could therefore be stored for future needs, so that each would not be automatically eager to dispose of his surplus.
		Turgot went on to declare that the "true evil" of government debt is that it presents advantages to the public creditors but channels their savings into "sterile" and unproductive uses, and maintains a high interest rate in competition with productive uses.

		Turgot recognized that the kind of spending and tax cuts he envisioned would encounter ferocious opposition, and he had to have the backing of the king, so he sought an interview.
		Turgot advised the king that violence must be put down swiftly, and he was given command of a 25,000-man force which protected an orderly flow of grain to the markets.
		Turgot declared: It is the interest of the whole kingdom we have to consider, the interests and the rights of all our subjects, who, as buyers or as sellers, have an equal right to find a market for their goods and to procure the object of their needs on the terms most advantageous to them.

		When portrayed as the industrious 'Intendant de la généralité du Limousin', Turgot is sometimes credited for the de facto abolition of the same corvées, which he managed to end de jure in 1776, during his office as a reformist Contrôleur-Général.
		These unpaid services covered the 1740 road building corvées des chemins for peasants of roadside parishes, the towing of timber rafts destined for the naval yards by riverains, and the transport and lodging of troops.
		Turgot's best known work, Réflexions sur la formation et la distribution des richesses, was written early in the period of his intendancy for the benefit of two young Chinese students.

	David Redfearn / Turgot's Gallant Failure
		Jacques Turgot had recently had an interview with King Louis XVI of France, at which he had accepted the post of Controller-General or Minister of Finance.
		In order to make as sure of it as he could, he decided, for the King's benefit as well as for his own, to send him a written summary of his plans, and to follow it with a warning of the difficulties they were likely to encounter.
		The King remained convinced of the rightness of Turgot's views, but, giving in to pressures that might in any case have proved to be irresistible, dismissed him.

		He even supported him at first against the violent opposition that Turgot, as an economist, a parsimonious middle-class man and an enemy of the effete aristocracy, was bound to meet with from the Court party.
		With this end in view, Turgot had even prepared a scheme of provincial assemblies, to be followed later on by representative government for all France in which the propertied classes would have been called upon to constitute a parliament.
		Sometimes these risings had a religious character; sometimes they were to resist military enlistment--every levy of soldiers led to a riot, says Turgot; or it might be the salt tax against which the people rebelled, or the exactions of the tithes.

	ON TURGOT AND THE INVENTION OF HUMANITY
		Only because the Spirit is transcendentally out of time can it be universally present in time, living in each man equally, irrespective of the age or place in which the man lives; only because the course of the community is out of time is mankind a universal community within historical time.
		.[ Turgot’s concept of humanity (the masse totale)] can have no appeal to a humanist and Christian; and whenever Positivist ideas spread in a socially menacing form, the clash with the traditions of Western high civilization is inevitable.
		The idea of being in substance a member of a masse totale can appeal only to a man who has not much substance of his own.
