Ouvrage en outre complet de ses 6 tableaux dÂŽpliants. Primitivement paru en un volume ˆ Avignon en 1759 les derniÂres cinq autres parties qui composent cet ensemble parurent de 1758 ˆ 1760. En effet lorsque Mirabeau publia le prÂŽsent ouvrage il ne connaissait pas encore Quesnay. Ce dernier fut vivement impressionnÂŽ par L'Ami des hommes et trÂs rapidement de leur rencontre naquit l'ÂŽcole Physiocratique et les trois autres parties de l'Ami des Hommes seront le rÂŽsultat de la collaboration des deux hommes. Principal propagateur des doctrines ÂŽconomiques en France Riquetti propose ici un traitÂŽ fondamental pour la physiocratie alors naissante en partie inspirÂŽ de FranÂois Quesnay. On y trouve ici ÂŽnoncÂŽs des principes comme le primat de lÕagriculture et la condamnation de la finance du luxe et de la Ç cupiditÂŽ È dans un monde sous la conduite de propriÂŽtaires et dÕun ÇÊroi pasteurÊÈ. Aussi d'aprÂs l'auteur ''la vraie richesse ne consiste que dans la population. Or la population dÂŽpend de sa subsistance et la subsistance ne se tire que de l'agriculture. Ainsi pour ce physiocrate convaincu tout dÂŽpend de l'agriculture : elle reste le premier des arts. Mirabeau se rangera derriÂre l'idÂŽe que Ç Plus vous faites rapporter ˆ la terre et plus vous la peuplez È''. Riquetti comprit avec quelques autres la vÂŽritable nature du paysan franÂais sa dÂŽvotion ˆ la terre et sa persÂŽvÂŽrance ˆ endurer un travail dur et ÂŽreintant pour en obtenir une parcelle.Ê Le paysan nՎtait pas pauvre par paresse mais parce que le dÂŽcouragement de ne jamais rien obtenir le conduisait ˆ baisser les bras au milieu de beaucoup de contraintes. Il travaillerait toujours dur pour son propre intÂŽrÂt. Il fallait donc lui faciliter lÕaccÂs ˆ la propriÂŽtÂŽ rurale en supprimant les causes de son dÂŽcouragement.Ê En outre Mirabeau souligna le besoin dÕun traitement rural de lÕassistance publique convaincu quÕil ÂŽtait de la supÂŽrioritÂŽ de lÕagriculture sur toutes les autres formes de richesse. Les villes lui paraissaient comme des excroissances ÂŽconomiques sources de luxe qui rÂŽpandait son pouvoir de corruption sur les campagnes environnantes.

A work of fundamental importance whose appearance created a sensation throughout Europe was widely translated and reprinted and earned its author an international reputation "greater than that of any other economist before or after not excluding Adam Smith or Karl Marx." Schumpeter p. 175n Mirabeau argues that wealth is the product of population -- in particular agriculture -- and that a large populartion is desirable that religious toleration free enterprise a more equitable system of taxation and distribution of wealth were necessary components of a vital economy. The first three parts appeared in 1756; by 1758 Mirabeau had fallen under the influence of Quesnay and issued the fourth part in which the latter's influence is very much felt. The two between them it may be said founded the school of the physiocrats. A fifth and sixth part were added in 1760. Kress 5735; Higgs 1631; Goldsmith 9317 unknown

Mirabeau's treatise created a sensation throughout Europe and was widely reprinted and translated earning for its author "though only for a few years a.fame much greater than that of any other economist before or after not excluding Adam Smith or Karl Marx.". Schumpeter p. 175n In it Mirabeau intended to show that agriculture is the great source of subsistence and must be encouraged that a large population is desirable and that religious toleration free trade a more equal distribution of wealth and lower and equitable taxation are needed for the economic improvement of the country. The work attracted the attention of Quesnay and the meeting of the two men led to the formation of the physiocratic school. Quesnay contributed to the continuations including a portion of the fourth part and the Tableau Économique in part six. Goldsmiths' 9093 Vols. I-III. Higgs 1143 & 2160. Kress 5545. Quérard VI 154.

1756131625Avignon: n.p. 1756-60. The first public appearance of Quesnay's Tableau économique First edition of all six parts containing the first public appearance of Quesnay's Tableau économique. The first to follow Quesnay in the foundation of the Physiocratic circle Mirabeau was familiar with and influenced by Cantillon's theories. As well as fully articulating the principles that were to mark the school of physiocrats and expounding their implications regarding population agriculture and commerce the Ami des Hommes contained a reproduction of Quesnay's Tableau économique vol. VI previously published separately in very small numbers in 1758 and 1759. Mirabeau's reproduction made the essay obtainable thus bringing the founding document of the school of physiocrats to the attention of a wide public. "This remarkable treatise created the greatest sensation throughout the whole of Europe. It is said to have gone through forty editions and was translated into several languages. Its anonymous author soon discovered became the idol of the day and was generally referred to by the soubriquet which he had chosen for the title of his book" Palgrave II p. 775. Following the publication of the first three parts Mirabeau made the acquaintance of Quesnay who had been greatly impressed by his book. "Mirabeau now became the fervent admirer of Quesnay and between them they founded the school of the Physiocrats" ibid. In 1758 a fourth part was published in which Quesnay's influence is clearly visible. The remaining two parts were published in 1760. The final part is of particular importance as it contains the first obtainable appearance of Quesnay's Tableau économique which was previously published separately in tiny numbers in 1758 and 1759. An English translation was first published in 1766. 6 parts in 2 vols quarto 246 x 188 mm. Contemporary French mottled calf spines ruled and decorated gilt in compartments all edges red.
