Call for papers
Nicolas Baudeau (1730-1792)
An “economist philosopher” and “instructor” in the Age of Enlightenment
Symposium organized by the University of Tours (France)
With the support of Association Charles Gide for the Study of Economic Thought
Tours – Amboise, 11-12 May 2006
In the second half of the 18th century, Nicolas Baudeau, theologian and economist, found
his place in the history manuals of economic thought as founder of the first economic
review published in France en 1765 (Les Ephémérides du Citoyen). Well known for having
opposed the physiocratic theory before rallying to it, this independent and enlightened
character, ecclesiastic and historian was then recognized as an “economist”. From
Amboise where he was born to Chancelade where he was appointed professor of theology,
Nicolas Baudeau went to teach theology in Paris before turning to Economics and Social
sciences. His intellectual career was rich and varied as were his publications.
The object of this conference is to analyse the different aspects of Nicolas Baudeau
activities : his activity of editor of the Ephémérides, his political, theological and
economic activities and his conversion to physiocratic theories (food supplies, analyse of
the Tableau Economique, questions of taxation, …), his work concerning history, law,
philosophy, social problems, politics (education…), and more technical problems (flour-
milling and bakery). Finally, his analysis of the events in Poland based on his experience
during the different visits he made to this country.
