The Languedoc estates and the end of the stay -- Conclusion. 330 $aThis book provides substantial background on what Adam Smith did during his stay in Toulouse and the Languedoc region of France during the 18th century. This is a crucial period in Smith's life for at least two reasons: i) it is during this time that Smith began to work on The Wealth of Nations; and ii) it is generally understood that although some of his ideas about political economy were already formed before his trip, his encounters with many French political economists during his time in France helped him to further develop them. As such, this book provides a rich resource to further understanding Smith's world, his travel experiences and the people he met during this time and situates these within the broader context of Smith's life as a whole, and within the British aristocracy. This work will be of value to students and researchers in the history of economic thought, travel studies and Scottish studies. 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aEconomics 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 676 $a338.9 676 $a330 700 $aAlcouffe$b Alain$054149 702 $aMassot-Bordenave$b Philippe 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468247603321 996 $aAdam Smith in Toulouse and Occitania$91919270 997 $aUNINA
