Antiphysiocracy

Critiques and opposition to the physiocratic movement, from the end of  
the 1750s to the mid-19th Century

International Conference
Lyon (France) 12-13 April 2013

Organised by:

TRIANGLE, UMR CNRS 5206, ENS-LSH, IEP de Lyon, Université Lyon 2
IDHE, UMR CNRS 8533, Université Paris 8
LED, EA 3391, Université Paris 8

Call for papers

Although the theories of Quesnay, his disciples and the  
&#8216;dissident&#8217;
physiocrats have been the focus of many studies, and while the diffusion on an
international scale of physiocratic ideas and their successors during  
the French
Revolution and in the first decades of the 19th Century have given  
rise to conferences and publications, the same cannot be said for the  
opposition to physiocracy.
The theme of this conference is a subject that has remained untouched  
for some time, and is now becoming a topic of interest again. In fact,  
a seminar is scheduled to take place in Norway in September 2012, on  
physiocracy and the opposition that it encountered in Europe until the  
end of the 18th Century. Continuing and complementing this first  
event, the international conference in Lyon aims to cover the widest  
possible range of aspects of antiphysiocracy and opposition to  
physiocratic principles and practices. We intend to take a long-term  
perspective, from the foundation of the school to the critiques made  
of the physiocrats by economists, theoreticians and pamphleteers in  
the first half of the 19th Century. We also wish to be as  
comprehensive as possible, not restricting ourselves to economics and  
history in themselves, but instead by opening the field of study to  
all antiphysiocratic ideas, trends and reactions, no matter what form  
they take. As a rough guide, we could mention:

- The work of theoreticians who were opposed to Quesnay's school of  
thought from an analytic point of view: Forbonnais, Galiani, Graslin  
or Montaudouin de la Touche, of course, but also Accarias de Sérionne,  
Béardé de l'Abbaye, Costé de Saint-Supplix, Pesselier, Pfeiffer, or  
Tiffaut de la Noüe for instance,
- The work of the classical Republicans and the  
&#8216;political&#8217; opponents of physiocracy (Mably, Rousseau,  
Linguet, Necker;),
- The criticisms that have surfaced in literature, poetry, stories and  
theatre (Voltaire, L.-S. Mercier;),
- The itineraries of figures that started out very close to  
physiocracy and ended up very critical of it, such as Diderot,
- Reactions of the cours souveraines and the enlightened elite, but  
also the reactions of the people to the physiocrats&#8217; political  
stance, and even to their ideas (songs, ballads, satires;)
- Critiques of physiocracy and its post-revolutionary successors by  
19th Century
theoreticians (particularly the first socialists and French liberals  
economists)
- Worldwide critiques of physiocratic experiments and theory

This conference aims, then, to encompass much more than merely  
historians and historians of economic thought, and invites researchers  
interested in political, literary and cultural history from the 1750s  
to mid-19th century to submit proposals on this unifying theme of  
opposition to physiocracy, in all its dimensions.

Participants are invited to submit proposals of no more than 800  
words, in French or English (participants may choose to speak in  
either language) before October 15, 2012, to the following address:

A selection of contributions from the conference will be proposed,  
with the usual peer review process, for a special issue of the  
European Journal of the History of Economic Thought on the theme of  
Antiphysiocracy.
The issue should be published in 2015.
