First edition in bookform, first published in the Nouvelles Ephémérides Économiques, and published in a very limited number of copies. Famous physiocratic polemic between Baudeau and Necker, here both present.'Doctrinaire économiste, l'un des plus fervens sectateurs de cette école, et l'un de ceux qui en ont le mieux exposé les principes' (Blanqui, p. 420). The work was written following the publication of Necker's Sur la législation et le commerce des grains presenting, in magnificent style, the arguments of the Physiocrats against Necker's theories. Baudeau criticizes Necker for his preference of industry over agriculture, for his Colbertism and his preferential attitude towards commerce in luxury goods. Baudeau advocates a return to the economics of Sully, protests against the protectionist laws of the new government and argues that free trade in corn will cause a price reduction rather than raise the price of bread.Second work: Kress 7144; Goldsmiths 11267; Higgs 6260; INED 3372; not in Einaudi; Lichtenberger, Socialisme au XVIIIe siècle, pp. 305-310.

This edition not in Kress, Goldsmiths, Einaudi and INED. Rare edition, the address of Humblot is pasted over the address of earlier editions, Pissot. Necker condemned the physiocratic doctrine of free trade and was in favour of government control. The physiocrats attacked his ideas with much energy. In 1789 Necker got a chance to put his ideas into practice, which led to disastrous results.
