| Research Abstract |
The concept of "economie publique" was developed and spread in the age of the French Revolution. Many thinkers and revolutionaries, such as Condorcet, Sieyes, Roedrer, insisted that the domain of so called "economie publique" was the key sphere of the engine for the development and transformation of the modern society and state. So they sought the own science to research this domain of the "economie publique". They insisted the importance of the science of "economie publique" in the system of modern social sciences. Their successor, especially the group of so called "Ideologue" (Cabanis, Destutt de Tracy, etc.) also sought to find and construct the new science of "economie publique" which seemed to have the position that replaced the political economy of the 18^<th> century.
The thinkers in the age of the Revolution drew out the concept of "economie publique" from the economic thoughts of the economists of the 18^<th> century, especially, Gournay, Turgot, etc. Turgot had two important disciples, Condorcet and Roedrer. These two persons accepted and developed the economic thought of Turgot. Then, Turgot's ideas of "economie publique" were developed and succeeded by the revolutionaries of the French Revolution.
The economic thought of Quesnay and his disciples are admitted to be the main stream of the French classical economics. This time, I think to be able to find another important stream of the classical political economy in France.
