Note 79 — Chapter I · : THE PHYSIOCRATS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
“Remove all useless, unjust, contradictory, and absurd laws, and there will not be much legislative machinery left after that.” (Baudeau, p. 817.) “It is not a question of procuring immense riches, but simply a question of letting people alone, a problem that hardly requires a moment’s thought.” So wrote Boisguillebert sixty years before.
