Hailed by Schumpeter and Macleod as one of the most important contributions to political economy in the 18th century.
It contains the first modern elaboration of the theory of value, and is one of the most relevant attempts of its century to establish political economy as a science.
Condillac defended economic liberalism and free trade, while opposing the theoretical foundations given to them by the Physiocrats.
A fine copy, despite restoration to the headpieces.
