"(Kress C. 1051). ""Le meilleur manuel d'économie politique que je connaisse."" (Blanqui, Histoire de L'Économie Politique en Europe, 1842, S. 419). ""In 1804 he published his 'Traité de la volonté', part of his 'Eléments d'Idéologie', the larger part of which formed a treatise on political economy. This work was reprinted, without any modification, under the title of a 'Traité d'économie politique' in 1823."" (Palgrave II, S. 572). Destutt de Tracy (1754 - 1836) was one of the last 'philosophes', beginning ""as an 18th century classical metaphysician, preoccupied with the sensationalist doctrine of Locke and Condillac, and ending up, in the words of Auguste Comte, as the philosopher, 'who had come closest to the positive state'. ... Long before it took on its pejorative sense at the hands of Marx, Tracy coined the term 'ideology' (by which he meant the science of ideas) to describe his philosophy, ... which gave primacy to economics because he thought that the purpose of society was to satisfy man's material needs .. Tracy rejected the physiocratic notion of value, substituting a labour theory that Ricardo subsequently endorsed in his 'Principles'. Like Say, he denied Smith' distinction between productive and unproductive labour. But unlike Smith or Say, he reduced all wealth, including land, to labour. ... Along with Say, Destutt de Tracy was one of the earliest members of the French liberal school."" (Hébert in The New Palgrave I, S. 816). - Vortitel verso mit dem handschriftlichen Namenszug des Verlegers Levi zum Nachweis der Rechtmässigkeit der Auflage.
