ABSTRACT
An essential part of Chamley’s work concerns the relationship between Hegel and Steuart. But he also devotes some thought to the relationship between Steuart and Keynes. Chamley wholly shares the opinion of Steuart’s French translator regarding the ambiguous claims made about the work of the mercantilist author:
The chevalier Steuart has had this honour which mediocrity cannot obtain: he has been rarely quoted, it is true; but he was often copied. Mr. Smith himself, in his very rightly famous work, has combined in the first three books everything our author has said about the same subjects, but without going as deeply into them.
