WHAT DOES PHYSIOCRACY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Physiocracy

Physiocracy is an economic theory developed by a group of 18th century French economists who believed that the wealth of nations was derived solely from the value of "land agriculture" or "land development" and that agricultural products should be highly priced. Their theories originated in France and were most popular during the second half of the 18th century. Physiocracy is perhaps the first well-developed theory of economics. The movement was particularly dominated by François Quesnay and Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot. It immediately preceded the first modern school, classical economics, which began with the publication of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations in 1776. The most significant contribution of the Physiocrats was their emphasis on productive work as the source of national wealth. This is in contrast to earlier schools, in particular mercantilism, which often focused on the ruler's wealth, accumulation of gold, or the balance of trade.

Definition of physiocracy in the English dictionary

The definition of physiocracy in the dictionary is a government based on Quesnay's doctrines of government, believing that the inherent natural order governing society is based on land and its natural products as the only true form of wealth.
