This outstanding book was ten years in the making, but it is finally here and the result is startling. It is a pocket edition, super economical, 525 pages of Turgot - the bulk of his life’s work, all beautifully organized. He might have been the key influence on Jefferson but, in any case, he certainly was the great French liberal of the 18th century, not only a proto-Austrian but also a fantastic defender of human liberty. You will find yourself wrapped up in his worldview and thinking like a liberal French aristocrat of the time. Maybe you can tell I’m very proud of this book.
