Les Intérêts de la France mal entendus, One of various 1756 editions. "Of the pre-physiocratic French writers who approached the population problem in terms of agricultural values and reforms, Ange Goudar (1720-1791) was the most important. He looked upon population growth as an index of the soundness of a nation's laws, and shared the mercantilist view that the state must be made strong" (Spengler, French Predecessors of Malthus, p. 57).
