ABSTRACT

Monsieur de Sismondi announces a new edition of his Nouveaux Principes d’économie politique (see. Rev. Enc., t. XXXI, September issue 1826, pp. 608–18), in which he will even more vigorously than ever attack the learned men who in our time have so brilliantly professed economic science. Let us wait for this publication before judging it; and let us congratulate ourselves if Monsieur de Sismondi has multiplied the number of meaningful and subtle observations of details which he had spread throughout his first edition. But while we wait, may he allow us a few observations on the so-called new principles which he professes in his article. Such discussions will not leave the public indifferent, for it is a question of its interests.
