This volume introduces two very early, unique, and hitherto largely unknown contributions to the making of modern economic knowledge: Fronsperger's on the role of self-interest in economic development (later called the 'Mandeville Paradox') and Laffemas' on the importance of an active industrial policy. Both for the first time in English.
