François Quesnay and A. R. J. Turgot: Two Admirers of China
摘要
The Physiocratic SchoolPhysiocratic School took QuesnayQuesnay as its theoretical guru and acknowledged leader, and its other members did no more than accept, absorb, exegete and propagate his ideas in an accessible form, so as to make them widely popular. Therefore, when we investigate the Chinese source of the Physiocratic system, we actually explore mainly that of QuesnayQuesnay’s theories, referring to as a supplementary reference the viewpoints of other important members of the School.
