CANTILLON Richard Essai sur la nature du commerce en général.

INED, 933.

Second edition, published one year after the first.

A banker, economist and demographer of Irish origin, Cantillon was one of the main beneficiaries of John Law's experiment.

His Essay, published some twenty years after his death and which greatly inspired the Physiocrats and Adam Smith, makes him one of the most important economists of the eighteenth century.

A good copy, with a tear to the upper spine.
