ALS Letter to Unnamed Recipient...

ALS, 1page, 8vo., (June, 1833). An interesting letter commenting to an unnamed recipient on the imminent publication of the first issue of his Revue mensuel d'economie politique, the forerunner of the important Journal des economistes. The Revue, though short-lived, attracted the support of Sismondi, Blanqui, Rossi, and Buret. In addaition to his pioneering contribution to French economic journalism, Fix (1800- 1846) produced a significant book on the working classes and the role of the state, which was published in the last year of his life. His original economic philosophy, elaborated here, fell somewhere between French liberalism and welfare school of Sismondi. See Joseph Garnier's long appreciative notice Coquelin & Guillaumin.
