AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very interesting collection comprising four works dedicated to grain trade. In the first, Abeille still shows himself at that date favorable to physiocrats and free export, which he believes contributes to increasing production and the income of individuals and the state. In the second pamphlet, the author discusses famines under Louis XIV, criticizes monopoly and speculation, and advocates for free competition, using Delamare's Treatise on Police as a reference. In the third work, of an economic nature, Abeille argues for the abolition of all prohibitive trade laws. It includes three fold-out tables.
