Description
Rare first edition published anonymously and with false indication of the place of printing (Lyon, but printed in Florence) of this short essay by the economist and historian Gian Rinaldo Calvi, developed in the Milanese environment where Calvi, elected president of the Supreme Council of Economics Austro-Hungarian in 1765 thanks to his studies on monetary issues, he came into contact with the group of Lombard reformers of the Caffè of Pietro Verri and Cesare Beccaria. From the first lines, Calvi's positions in this work are in open controversy with the positions of the new Enlightenment philosophy and in particular with the theories of Rousseau's Social Contract, carrying forward a conception of sovereignty and society based on the concept of property. private and on a political level to justify enlightened absolutism.
