Recenzje

Adds usefully to the study of Law ... a rational sympathetic treatment of Law's efforts to convert the French financial system from specie to paper notes ... One of this book's many virtues is a careful analysis of the documents brought together by Paul Harsin in the three volumes of what he called Law's Oeuvres completes ... The result of this critical scholarship is an impressive documentation ... this is a fine addition to the subject as a whole and deserves to be widely read.
