Austrian"<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Babeuf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Babeuf</a> and his comrades had been long forgotten, and this massive work now told the first and most thoroughgoing story of the Babeuvist saga. The book proved to be an inspiration to revolutionary and communist groupings, and it sold extremely well, the English translation of 1836 selling 50 000 copies in a short space of time. For the next decade of his life, the previously obscure <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Buonarroti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buonarroti</a> was lionized throughout the European ultraleft." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revolution</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>

Austrian"Never has libertarian ruling-class theory been put more clearly or forcefully than in the words of (James) Mill: there are two classes, Mill declared, ‘The first class, those who plunder, are the small number. They are the ruling Few. The second class, those who are plundered, are the great number. They are the subject Many’." <a href="https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jamesmill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jamesmill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libertarianism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rulingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rulingclass</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a>

Austrian"Amidst the morass of bland economic writings on taxation, Jean-Baptiste Say stands out like a beacon light. It is true that he was unusually devoted – even in that generally liberal era – to laissez-faire and the rights of private property, and only waffled a very few times in that creed. But for some reason, most laissez-faire and libertarian thinkers in history have not really considered taxation to be an invasion of the rights of private property." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jbsay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jbsay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a>

Austrian"We shall see below the precise nature of Say's thought and his contributions, as well as his decidedly ‘French’ non-Smithian, and ‘pre-Austrian’ logical clarity and emphasis on the praxeologic axiomatic-deductive method, on utility as the sole source of economic value, on the entrepreneur, on the productivity of the factors of production, and on individualism." <a href="https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jbsay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jbsay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/praxeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#praxeology</a>

Austrian"If we were to award a prize for ‘brilliancy’ in the history of economic thought, it would surely go to Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, the baron de l'Aulne (1727–81). His career in economics was brief but brilliant and in every way remarkable." <a href="https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/turgot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#turgot</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a>

Austrian"The dauphin of France once complained to Quesnay of the difficulty of being a king, and the physician replied that it was really quite simple. ‘What then’, asked the dauphin, ‘would you do if you were king?’ ‘Nothing’, was the straightforward, stark, and magnificently libertarian answer of Dr Quesnay. ‘But then who would govern?’ sputtered the dauphin. ‘The law’, that is, the natural law, was Quesnay's accurate but no doubt unsatisfying reply." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/naturallaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturallaw</a>

Austrian"Looking to an enlightened monarch to remove these artificial subsidies and restrictions, d'Argenson pointed out that in the ideal society, the sovereign would have very little to do. ‘One spoils everything by meddling too much... The best government is that which governs least’. Thereby the marquis anticipated the famous phrase attributed to Thomas Jefferson." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/laissezfaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laissezfaire</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jefferson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jefferson</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/thomasjefferson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thomasjefferson</a>

Austrian"Richard Cantillon's pioneering Essai was widely read and highly influential throughout the eighteenth century. It was widely read as was the custom of the day, in ‘underground’ manuscript form, by literary, scientific and intellectual people interested in the advance of thought and in the practical problems of the day." <a href="https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/richardcantillon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#richardcantillon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adamsmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adamsmith</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>

Austrian"Roger North, who in his preface explained the groundwork and methodology of his brother and made his conclusions more consistent, pointed out the innovation in Dudley's method of economic analysis. For Dudley pioneered, at least in the history of English thought, the method which would later be adopted by Cantillon and Say and Senior, and which Ludwig von Mises would, in the twentieth century, call ‘praxeology’." <a href="https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/praxeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#praxeology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/austrianeconomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#austrianeconomics</a>

Austrian"The Lockean recoinage was assisted by Locke's old friend, the great physicist Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) who, while still a professor of mathematics at Cambridge from 1669 on, also became warden of the Mint in 1696, and rose to master of the Mint three years later, continuing in that post until his death in 1727. Newton agreed with Locke's hard-money views of recoinage." <a href="https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mises.org/library/book/austrian-perspective-history-economic-thought</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/newton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newton</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/isaacnewton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#isaacnewton</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/locke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#locke</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/johnlocke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#johnlocke</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rothbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rothbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/aphet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aphet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#money</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/soundmoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soundmoney</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathematics</a>
