"First separate edition of this fundamental work of physiocracy, undoubtedly one of the scarcest of Dupont's works, and probably one of the most successful publications promoting physiocracy. Schumpeter, in his discussion on the physiocrats, calls Dupont ""by far the ablest of the lot"" (p. 226) and Palgrave notes; ""If Quesnay was the father of physiocracy, Dupont was its godfather."" Pierre-Samuel Dupont de Nemours lag aan de grondslag van het Amerikaanse industrie-imperium DuPont, waarvan de ""Gistfabriek"" de Brugse vestiging is"
