| Abstract: | The term "POLITICAL economy" seems to have entered modern discourse for the first time in 1611 in a treatise on government by L. de Mayerne-Turquet. Four years later a fellow "Consultant Administrator," Antoyne de Montchretien, Sieur de Watteville, published his Traicle de I'ceconomie politique, which though "a mediocre performance and completely lacking in originality", marks the beginning of an intellectual enterprise that has continued-with some large ups and downs to this day. The private interests and prejudices of particular orders of men have given occasion to very different theories of political economy. These theories have had a considerable influence, not only upon the opinions of men of learning, but upon the public conduct of princes and sovereign states. |
