| Résumé anglais |
The french merchants are, in the XVIIIe century, supporters of free trade in a way which is very close of the ideas of Adam Smith. But this general freedom is defended only in individuals terms. The merchant are opposed to the shortcoming to the colonial monopoly and leave out the play of freedom withs foreigners. They demand also bonus and encouragements from the king. This contradiction is also found during the Revolution, when the merchants behind general idea of freedom, succeed in keeping slavery and slave-trade. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
