Francois Quesnay, French Economist

Francois Quesnay (June 4, 1694 - December 16, 1774) was a French economist and physician. He studied medicine in Paris, and became physician to King Louis XV of France. From the late 1740s he began to devote more time to the study of economics, gathering around him a group of leading economic thinkers (the Physiocrates). He published the "Tableau économique" (Economic Table) in 1758, which provided the foundations of the ideas of the Physiocrats. This was perhaps the first work attempting to describe the workings of the economy in an analytical way, and as such can be viewed as one of the first important contributions to economic thought. His Le Despotisme de la Chine, written in 1767, describes Chinese politics and society, and his own political support for constitutional Oriental despotism. He died in 1774 at the age of 80. Line engraving by J. G. Wille, 1747, after J. Chevallier, 1745.
