Description
Paul DESCHANEL (1855–1922), a politician, served as President of the Republic. Autograph letter, Paris, 1 July 1896; 4 pages, in-8, on letterhead of the Chamber of Deputies. An interesting letter on political economy. ‘Ricardo, very well! But Smith, no! On this point, Bastiat (Harmonies, Value) is categorical. Marx started from Smith; hence his error. “Orthodox” is not scientific; you are right. If I used that term, it is because, as soon as one accepts, as I do, in a certain way and in certain cases, state intervention—whether in matters of labour or customs—economists treat you rather like heretics! But I’d be only too happy to withdraw that word!’”…
