==================== HES POSTING ==================== 
 
[NOTE: The Eh.Res discussion mentioned here can be found by searching for  
"Re-thinking 18th Century China" in the November and December 1997 Eh.Res  
archives, found at: http://www.eh.net/Archives/eh.res/. -- RBE] 
 
It is generally reported that Turgot's "Reflections on the Production 
and Distribution of Wealth" was written as advice to "two young men from 
China."  While there is a great deal written on the impact of 
"Reflections" in Europe, I have seen nothing on either the two young men 
or any other impact that the work may have had in China.  As discussed 
at length on Eh.Res recently, there was a great deal of both riches and 
discussion in China during the relevant time period. What, if any, impact  
then did Turgot have in China? 
 
Thank you
