| Physiocracy: Physiocracy was an 18th-century economic theory emphasizing natural order in agriculture as the primary source of wealth. It advocated for minimal government intervention in the economy, asserting that land was the sole source of wealth, with agricultural productivity being the key driver of economic growth, rejecting mercantilist policies in favor of free trade and low taxes on agriculture. See also Economics, Interventions, Economics growth._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Jean-Baptiste Say on Physiocracy - Dictionary of Arguments
Rothbard II 13 Physiocrats/Say/Rothbard: In his introduction to the Treatise(1), which sets forth the methodological nature and implications of his work, Say begins by being critical of the physiocrats and of Dugald Stewart for confounding the sciences of politics and of political economy. Say saw that if economics, or political economy, was to progress, it must stand on its own feet as a discipline without being intimately mixed from the start with political science - or the science which sets forth the correct principles of the political order. Political economy, wrote Say, is the science of wealth, its production, distribution and consumption. >Method/Say. 1. Say, J.-B. 1803. Traité d'économie politique ou simple exposition de la manière dont se forment, se distribuent et se composent les richesses.translated into English as A Treatise on Political Economy (ed. Clement C. Biddle, 6th Amer. ed., 1834, New York: A. M.
