Sinopsis

This is a biographical sketch of John Law of Lauriston (1671-1729), a Scottish economist who served as Comptroller General of Finances in France under Louis XV. The book details Law?s life, including his early career, his theories on money and credit, and his ambitious projects to reform the French economy. It covers the establishment of the Banque Royale and the Mississippi Company, their initial successes, and their eventual collapse, which led to Law?s downfall and exile. The work examines Law?s impact on the French financial system, his innovative but ultimately unsustainable policies, and his lasting legacy as a controversial figure in economic history.
