Summary

Compass of Society rethinks the French route to a conception of commercial society in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Henry C. Clark finds that the development of market liberalism, far from being a narrow and abstract ideological episode, was part of a broad-gauged attempt to address a number of perceived problems generic to Europe and particular to France during this period.

Author Biography

Henry C. Clark is Professor of History at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York
