Conclusion
The readers of French liberal economists have often focused on the political aspects of their writings, and their theoretical contributions were regarded with some condescension, but this does not do justice to them.
The analyses of the French liberals owe much to the careful reading of the English classical economists - Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, Mill and Tooke in particular. However, they deviate from them in a variety of respects. In particular, they emphasize the role of utility in the formation of prices, and they even propose how to measure it. In many other areas, especially in the theory of economic crises, they contributed new insights into the functioning of the economic system.Alain Beraud
