Excerpt from A Sketch of Anne Robert Jacques Turgot: With a Translation of His Letter to Dr. Price
Washington and his associates warned their countrymen against entangling alliances with the European powers.
M. Turgot, Minister of State under Louis XVI., our great friend in France, in his letter of the 22d of March, 1778, to Dr. Price, our best friend in London, in relation to the new republic writes, "In order that all these good results, which he foresaw were possible in America, may be brought about, it will be necessary for America to keep itself from imitating or becoming an image of Europe."
Again, he goes on to say: "We see her [America] irrevocably independent. Will she be happy in her freedom? This new nation is situated so advantageously to give the world the example of a constitution where the individual enjoys all his rights, freely uses all his faculties, and is only to be governed by nature, right, and justice.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an intimate portrait of Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, a remarkable French statesman and economist of the 18th century. Born to a wealthy family, Turgot abandoned an ecclesiastical career to pursue his passion for literature and economics. He was a member of the Enlightenment movement and a close associate of the renowned philosophers d'Alembert and Voltaire. Throughout his life, Turgot advocated for economic and political reforms. He served as Minister of Finance under King Louis XVI and implemented numerous progressive policies, including the abolition of guilds, the reduction of taxes, and the promotion of free trade. Turgot's ideas were ahead of his time and faced strong opposition from the French aristocracy. Nonetheless, his writings and policies continue to influence economic thought and policymaking today. This book explores Turgot's life, ideas, and contributions to economics. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of Turgot's work and its relevance to contemporary economic issues. The book highlights Turgot's unwavering belief in individual liberty, the importance of education, and the role of government in fostering economic growth and prosperity. By studying Turgot's life and writings, readers gain valuable insights into the development of economic thought and the enduring principles of economic policy.
