A Treatise on Political Economy by Antoine Louis Claude Destutt de Tracy (17541836) is a foundational text of nineteenthcentury, freemarket economic thought and remains one of the classics of nineteenthcentury French economic liberalism. Destutt de Tracy was one of the founders of the classical liberal republican group known as the Idologues, which included JeanBaptiste Say, Marquis de Condorcet, and Pierre Cabanis.In this volume, Destutt de Tracy provides one of the clearest statements of the economic principles of the Idologues. Placing the entrepreneur at the center of his view of economic activity, he argues against the luxurious consumption of the idle rich and recommends a market economy with low taxation and minimum state intervention.Destutt de Tracy sent the text of A Treatise on Political Economy to Thomas Jefferson in hopes of securing its translation in the United States. It was met with enthusiastic approval. Jefferson wrote to the publisher, The merit of this work will, I hope, place it in the hands of every reader in our country.Jeremy Jennings is Professor of Political Theory at Queen Mary, University of London.
