His "Économie politique" contains the widely-quoted remarks, "Certain economists seem to think that products are not made for men, but that men are made for products" and "Capital left to itself is an idle toll." Of his historical writings, "Histoire du regne de Louis XVI" (1839) is well known. Palgrave 1894-1901. Goldsmith 25751. Kress C.2268. Not in Einaudi. TIMO-2
