Note 432 — Chapter I · : SISMONDI AND THE ORIGINS OF THE CRITICAL SCHOOL

A. Blanqui, in his Histoire de l’Économie politique en Europe (1837), considers him a writer of the modern school, which he describes as follows: “Writers of this school are no longer willing to treat production as a pure abstraction apart from its influence upon the workers. To produce wealth is not enough; it must be equitably distributed.” (Introd., 3rd ed., p. xxi.)
