Richard Cantillon (1680s-May 1734) was an Irish economist and author of Essay on the Nature of Trade in General a book considered by Willian Stanley Jevons to be the “cradle of political economy”. Although little information exists on Cantillon’s life it is known that he became a successful banker and merchant at an early age. His success was largely gained from the political and business connections he was able to acquire through his family and an early employer. During the late 1710s and early 1720s Cantillon took a chance and helped finance John Law’s Mississippi Company from which he acquired great wealth. His success however came at a cost to his debtors who attempted to get him involved in criminal activities and even murder plots until his death 1734.
The Essay remains Cantillon’s only surviving contribution to economics. It was written around 1730 and circulated widely in manuscript form but was not published until 1755. Despite having much influence on the early development of the physiocrat(重农主义者)and classical schools of thought the Essay was largely forgotten until its rediscovery by Jevons in the late 19th century. Cantillon was influenced by his experiences as a banker and especially by the speculative bubble(投机泡沫)of John Law’s Mississippi Company. He was also heavily influenced by previous economists especially William Petty.
The Essay is considered the first complete essay on economies with a great many contributions to the science. These contributions include the development of spatial(与空间有关的)economics. Canutillo’s Essay had significant influence on the early development of political economy including the works of David Hume and Adam Smith.
