‎ Première traduction française, par Turgot ; c'est sa première publication en économie politique. Il s'agit de la seconde partie de "Reflections on the Expediency of a Law for the Naturalisation of Foreign Protestants" de Josiah Tucker (1752). Turgot a ajouté des notes à sa traduction. Plusieurs de ces notes révèlent, à ce stade précoce de sa carrière, l'énorme importance de la libre concurrence et du libre-échange dans le développement de la pensée économique de Turgot. /// In-8 de 153 pp. Demi-veau brun, dos orné. (Reliure moderne.) //// First French edition, translation by Turgot, his first published piece on economics. It is the second part of Tucker's Reflections on the Expediency of a Law for the Naturalisation of Foreign Protestants (1752). Turgot added notes to his translation. "This work deserves mention for several reasons. In the first place, because several of this notes once more reveal at this still early stage of his career, the tremendous importance of free competition and free trade in the development of Turgot's economic thought. Further, they reveal the fact that thanks to Gournay Turgot's economics came under the influence of English economics to a far greater extent than that of his French contemporaries who were followers of Quesnay."
