Henry C. Clark

Compass of Society

Commerce and Absolutism in Old-Regime France

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Compass of Society rethinks the French route to a conception of 'commercial society' in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Henry C. Clark finds that the development of market liberalism, far from being a narrow and abstract ideological episode, was part of a broad-gauged attempt to address a number of perceived problems generic to Europe and particular to France during this period.
